Annotation:
The European Social Charter, a regional legal instrument, entered into force in 1965. It enumerates social rights such as the right to work, the right to safe and healthy working conditions, the right of children and young persons to protection, the right of employed women to protection, the right to protection of health, and the right to Social Security. State parties to this Charter must submit a report every two years on the implementation of these rights to a committee of experts who reviews the reports.
