European Committee of Social Rights publishes 2023 Findings and Conclusions on Children, Family and Migrants

The European Committee of Social Rights (ECSR) has published its Conclusions 2023 in respect of the articles of the European Social Charter relating to Children, Family and Migrants. In the framework of the reporting procedure, the ECSR adopted 799 conclusions: 415 conclusions of conformity with the Charter and 384 conclusions of non-conformity concerning : Countries covered: Andorra, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Republic of Moldova, Montenegro, the Netherlands, Netherlands Aruba, the Netherlands Curaçao, North Macedonia, Norway, Romania, Serbia, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Türkiye, and the United Kingdom.

The European Committee of Social Rights (ECSR) has also published its Findings 2023 in respect of eight States (Belgium, Bulgaria, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, and Portugal) which have accepted the collective complaints procedure.

The ECSR found that, although there has been progress in some areas and efforts to bring the situation into conformity, among other issues, the gender pay gap, the housing for Roma, health care discrimination, and inclusive education for children with intellectual disabilities remain persistent problems for which measurable progress needs to be achieved in order to bring the situation in those countries into conformity with the Charter.

The ECSR emphasises the importance of continued efforts to fully align with the European Social Charter's provisions, ensuring the protection and advancement of social rights for all citizens.

The Council of Europe is the continent’s leading human rights organisation, with 46 member states, including Armenia. All our member states are party to the European Convention on Human Rights, which is the cornerstone of human rights protection in Europe.

The Council of Europe Office in Yerevan, represents the Secretary General in Armenia. It closely co-operates with national authorities supporting the implementation of statutory obligations to the Council of Europe by Armenia through co-operation projects.


 

Armenia and the Council of Europe – bringing human rights from the conference table to your kitchen table

The Council of Europe works for you. We want to give visibility to the role, standards and work of the Council of Europe in its member states, to show how Council of Europe membership has helped achieve particular results or changes. Our aim, through a variety of events and actions, is to highlight ways in which the Council of Europe’s action has helped improve the life of individuals and contributed to improving people’s enjoyment of fundamental rights.

 

Whether it is the impact of the European Convention on Human Rights at national level, or the Council of Europe's work in many fields, such as working to abolish the death penalty or to ensure freedom of expression and freedom of the media, or to adress online and technology-facilitated violence against women through the Istanbul Convention and Budapest Convention on Cybercrime, the Council of Europe has achieved a lot since 1949. View achievements »
