The Contributions of International Bodies of the Protection of Social Rights to the Struggle with Deregulation.
abstract
Globalization, increase in competitiveness, progressing economic integration and the “austerity” measures due to the European Union (EU) actions during the last economic crisis, especially in so-called GIPSI countries, have strongly deteriorated the relationship between social rights and economic freedoms. This made international instruments for protection of social rights more relevant than ever for resisting this re-balance. The aim of this article is to research the contributions of the International bodies to this prosess and reveal their actual role in the sphere of protection of social rights.
