"This reports has two goals. Firstly, it seeks to establish an overview of proceedings, whether they be actions for failure to fulfil obligations, actions for annulment, or references for a preliminary ruling – before the Court of Justice of the European Union associated with occupational health and safety directives between 1989 and 2022. A total of 173 decisions were selected and analysed. The variables taken into consideration were: the Member States against which the proceeding were brought, the year of the decision, the OSH directive examined and the type of proceedings. Secondly, by spotlighting certain patterns, it will be possible in future to build a litigation strategy for health and safety both by continuing to make references for a preliminary ruling to the Court and by turning decisions already made by the Court to account at national level."

"The leading textbook on international human rights law is now better than ever. The content has been fully updated and now provides more detailed coverage of substantive human rights, along with new sections on the war on terror and on the progressive realization of economic and social rights, making this the most comprehensive book in the field. It has a new, more student-friendly text design and has retained the features which made the first edition so engaging and accessible, including the concise and critical style, and questions and case studies within each chapter, as well as suggestions for further reading. Written by De Schutter, whose extensive experience working in the field and teaching the subject in both the US and EU gives him a unique perspective and valuable insight into the requirements of lecturers and students. This is an essential tool for all students of international human rights law."

"En Europe, les ordres juridiques nationaux abordent les droits sociaux comme les « parents pauvres » des droits civils et politiques. En effet, contrairement à ce qui se produit pour ceux appartenant à la première génération des droits humains, la protection juridictionnelle des droits sociaux se heurte à des obstacles inhérents à leur nature et à leur formulation. Organe transnational d'application de la Charte sociale européenne (CSE), le Comité européen des droits sociaux (CEDS) s'engage précisément à introduire une rupture dans cet état des choses. Par le biais des organisations de la société civile (ONG, syndicats), les particuliers disposent de l'outil que sont les réclamations collectives introduites contre l'État, s'ils estiment que celui-ci enfreint les engagements qu'il a pris en tant que partie à la CSE. Grâce à la jurisprudence qu'il a élaborée, le CEDS fait de la Charte non seulement un instrument vivant, susceptible d'assurer l'autonomie de l'individu dans le domaine social, mais également un moyen qui permet aux États de prendre des décisions politiquement légitimes en matière de politique sociale et de relations du travail.
L'ouvrage offre au lecteur la possibilité de découvrir l'organisation et le fonctionnement du CEDS par le biais de la procédure des réclamations collectives. Au moyen de la jurisprudence élaborée par le Comité, il examine le rôle réservé au juge national lors de l'application de la Charte. Il présente de façon détaillée les principaux outils d'interprétation de la Charte que le Comité utilise. Il explore comment le contenu normatif des droits sociaux garantis par la Charte est enrichi en y introduisant des éléments du droit des droits de l'homme, d'une part, et du droit de l'Union européenne, d'autre part.
Ce livre s'adresse aux avocats et aux juges qui se spécialisent dans la protection des droits sociaux en tant que droits de l'homme, ainsi qu'à quiconque souhaite approfondir l'étude du régime conventionnel européen de protection des droits sociaux."

"Employment law has increasingly struggled to adapt to complex modern work arrangements, from agency work to corporate groups. This book suggests that the reason for this failure can be found in our concept of the employer, which has become riddled with internal contradictions in its search for a unitary employer, the counterparty to a bilateral contract, through a series of multi-functional tests focussed on the exercise of a range of employer functions. As a result of this tension, full employment law coverage is restricted to a narrow scenario where a single legal entity exercises all employer functions - a paradigm far from the reality of modern labour markets characterized by a fragmentation of work, from the rise of employment agencies and service companies to corporate groups and Private Equity investors. These problems can only be addressed by a careful reconceptualization and the development of a functional concept of the employer. The book draws on existing models in English, German, and European law to develop a definition of the employer as the entity, or combination of entities, exercising functions regulated in a particular domain of employment law. Each of the two strands of the current concept is addressed in turn to demonstrate how a more openly multi-functional approach can successfully overcome the rigidities of the current notion without abandoning a coherent underlying framework. It fills a crucial gap in employment law and corporate law with its analysis of the defects in our current understanding of the employer, and in developing a new functional concept designed to overcome the problems identified."
