Social Rights in the European Context

Abstract

On the basis of a state there is a complex society. But the society to be able to last, maintain itself and establish itself as peaceful, it is necessary that there are rights, guarantees and their respect to support it. In particular in our case, civil rights must be the basis of a just and equitable society. For this reason, state, society and rights create an inseparable bond. Social rights are not static but alive, and during human history they have undergone a real metamorphosis. This is because they need to adapt to the evolving context of the rule of law and the welfare state. They need to adapt to economic, cultural, political, technological and environmental transformations. Throughout history, social rights have been progressively recognized and guaranteed to promote well-being and social justice. However, despite their deep roots in human history, social rights are not included in the catalogue of human rights. Hence a strict needs to ensure social rights not only within the constitutional charters of national systems, but above all within the legal framework of the European Union. What is proposed is precisely an analysis of the European panorama in terms of civil rights. A path that exclusively crosses the twenty principles contained in the European Pillar of Civil Rights.
