El control de convencionalidad y los derechos sociales: nuevos desafíos en España y en el ámbito comparado europeo (Francia, Italia y Portugal)
Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: This essay tackles the positive impact of the control of conventionality as a constitutional requirement of coherence (at both normative and institutional levels) and optimization (of human dignity) through the protection of social rights. Indeed, under a multi-level constitutionalism approach, the European parameters in the field of social rights (those pertaining to the Council of Europe—especially the case-law of the European Committee of Social Rights—and those relating to the European Union) as well as the comparative experience in the Latin-European constitutional culture (Spain, France, Italy and Portugal) are taken into account. The author concludes by emphasizing the essential role of domestic courts in correctly articulating the systems of legal sources, institutions and fundamental rights. However, this role must be preceded and constantly completed by a sincere and positive contribution from Academia, aiming at strengthening social rights standards.
