The presentation of publication "Procedure on non-accepted provisions of the European Social Charter prepared within the Council of Europe project “Promoting social human rights as a key factor of sustainable democracy in Ukraine” was held.
The European Social Charter is a Council of Europe treaty that guarantees fundamental social and economic rights as a complement to the European Convention on Human Rights, which mainly concerns civil and political rights.
The European Social Charter entered into force in Ukraine in 2006 and therefore the procedure on non-accepted provisions was applied for the first time in 2011 (meeting in Kyiv on 29-30 September 2011) and for the second time - in 2016 (meeting in Kyiv on 23 March 2016).
Ukraine accepted 76 of the 98 paragraphs of the Charter. It has not accepted the system of collective complaints.
The next examination of the provisions not yet accepted by Ukraine will take place in 2021.
