FEANTSA v. Czech Republic (Collective Complaint No. 191/2020)

  • Nov 20, 2024
  • Share:
The European Committee of Social Rights declared the complaint admissible on 9 December 2020. The complaint is against the Czech Republic (191/2020) and concerns Article 16 of the European Social Charter, which guarantees the right of the family to social, legal and economic protection. In particular, the Committee considers FEANTSA's complaint admissible under Article 4 of the Protocol, as it is signed by an authorised representative and sufficiently describes the alleged violation by the Czech Republic of Article 16 of the 1961 Charter.
