Among human rights, social rights are less protected than civil and political rights. However, within the Council of Europe, the European Social Charter and the ECHR systems offer good conditions for the emergence of justiciability of social rights. Indeed the European Court of Human Rights through its dynamic interpretation enlarges the field of protected rights and includes social rights. Moreover the Social Charter System has been reinforced with the institution of collective complaints which permits a quasi-judicial guarantee of social rights. Finally national judges accept increasingly direct enforceability of the European Social Charter. The range of this movement is however heterogeneous. Generally, the more the respect of the right will impose the adoption of positive measures from the State, the more its justiciability will be limited ; Los derechos sociales están generalmente menos protegidos que los derechos civiles y políticos. Sin embargo, en el ámbito del Consejo de Europa, los sistemas de la Carta social europea y del Convenio europeo de los derechos humanos ofrecen las condiciones para un avanzar hacia la justiciabilidad de los derechos sociales. El Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos evoluciona y adopta una interpretación dinámica que amplía los derechos del Convenio europeo hasta la esfera social. Por otra parte, el sistema de la Carta social se ha reforzado con el establecimiento del sistema de reclamaciones colectivas que permite una garantía cuasi judicial de los derechos sociales. Finalmente, los jueces nacionales aceptan cada vez más la aplicabilidad directa de la Carta social europea. No obstante, el alcance de este movimiento es heterogéneo puesto que el respeto del derecho social implica la adopción por el Estado de medidas positivas, derivándose de ello una justiciabilidad más limitada.

Volume 1, entitled Cross-Cutting Themes , provides readers with descriptive and analytical accounts of the birth and evolution of the Charter system, the rules governing its interactions with domestic authorities, a number of thematic areas and concepts that elucidate the spirit of the treaty, and the differences and synergies between the European Social Charter and other European and international regulatory frameworks. This volume lays the groundwork for the article-by-article commentary on the European Social Charter that will be presented in the subsequent seven volumes, providing crucial context and highlighting the conceptual and operational links between the various Charter provisions. This first volume is edited by Stefano Angeleri (Queen's University Belfast) and Carole Nivard (Université de Rouen)
