What we do

The strengthening of social human rights in accordance with the standards of the European Social Charter contributes to the establishment of a sustainable democracy.

The effective enjoyment of social rights is only possible if national legislation and practice are in line with international standards and requirements, in particular those set out in the European Social Charter.

The Council of Europe is the only European organisation offering a "full cycle" of assistance to its member States. The Council of Europe's technical assistance programmes are an integral part of the unique strategic triangle of standard-setting, monitoring and cooperation: the development of legally binding standards is combined with their monitoring by independent mechanisms and complemented by technical cooperation to facilitate their implementation.
