"On the request of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, the Steering Committee for Human Rights (CDDH) addressed this question in two steps. It first drew up an analysis of the legal framework of the Council of Europe for the protection of social rights in Europe (Volume I). On the basis of that analysis, it then identified good practices and made proposals with a view to improving the implementation of social rights in Europe (Volume II). In the present Volume II, the CDDH addresses and makes proposals for further action regarding the main topics which were considered as relevant for an improved implementation of social rights in Europe in its previous analysis. These topics comprise the Member States' commitment under the relevant instruments of the treaty system of the (revised) European Social Charter; the monitoring procedures under that treaty system; the effective national implementation of social rights; the awareness and visibility of the Charter system; and the relationship of Council of Europe instruments with other instruments for the protection of social rights. Good practices for improving the effective national implementation of social rights and for furthering the awareness and visibility of the Charter system are equally set out."
