"Work insecurity characterizes the era of globalization. The hazards arising from work exist at all times and in every part of world. Whereas International Labour Organization (ILO) standards and domestic statutory mechanisms have contributed to the reduction of many risks and dangers, a countertrend toward market conditions has multiplied and increased them in number. As this is a growing problem, some countries are making efforts to solve it in different ways. One of the strategies agreed upon at a European level is to strengthen the principles of labour law by means of protection offered by international human rights legislation. Thus, the European Social Charter has been enacted. There is no other comparable system in any other region. This paper aims to examine how useful the Social Charter is in reality."
