Description

The European Social Charter and the European Pillar of Social Rights in the follow-up to the Vilnius and La Hulpe Declarations:
Earlier this year, both the Council of Europe, via the Vilnius Declaration, and the European Union, via the La Hulpe Declaration, reaffirmed the importance of social rights to underpin progress, social cohesion, and democracy. In particular, the La Hulpe Declaration specifically highlights the role of the European Social Charter as a key tool in building Social Europe, while both Declarations specifically mention the importance of further cooperation between the Council of Europe and the European Union in promoting social rights and the Charter.
This high-level event aimed to look at what comes next for social rights across the European region and how we can best ensure holistic policy making, whereby the processes of the Council of Europe and the European Union contribute towards a shared vision with initiatives that both support and mutually reinforce one another.
