This publication presents an overview of the rights guaranteed by the European Social Charter in the field of industrial relations, as well as the case law built up by the European Committee of Social Rights. Articles 5 and 6 of the Charter cover the right of workers and employers to form organisations for the protection of their economic and social interests; the right to join or not to join these organisations; the right to engage in consultation and collective bargaining; and the right to strike. This edition also includes the most recent assessment by the European Committee of Social Rights in April 2000 of the compliance of member states with these provisions.

The origins of these Manuals lie in the increasing interest and importance of questions concerning the manner in which the freedom of religion and belief is to be enjoyed in Europe today, and how freedom of expression can be reconciled with other rights in a multi-cultural society. These volumes, written by human rights experts and commissioned by the Council of Europe, offer an overview of two contentious topics - the wearing of religious symbols in public areas and the issue of hate speech - and supply insight into key concepts in the jurisprudence of the Court, the role and responsibilities of the state and individuals, key definitions and essential questions for policy makers. This title is published in two parts, one in English and one in French. This publication is only available as a set.

Les tendances récentes indiquent que les pays européens accueillent davantage d'ouvriers étrangers afin de combler les pénuries de main-d'œuvre provoquées par le vieillissement de la population ou par la mondialisation. Par ailleurs, un nouvel environnement se dessine dans le monde du travail, avec l'arrivée de nouvelles technologies, de normes de travail différentes, l'augmentation des activités économiques indépendantes, et une plus grande flexibilité en matière de temps de travail et de pratiques sur le lieu de travail. Pour cette raison, certains pays européens ont adopté de nouvelles lois et de nouvelles politiques pour attirer les ouvriers étrangers hautement ou moyennement qualifiés. Cependant, les nouvelles mesures peuvent mettre en danger certains acquis dans ce domaine et peuvent ne pas être en accord avec les normes du Conseil de l'Europe visant à garantir les droits des travailleurs migrants, tels que la Charte sociale européenne et la Convention européenne relative au statut juridique du travailleur migrant. Cette étude se concentre sur les règles concernant le statut juridique des principales catégories de travailleurs migrants admis aux fins d'un emploi dans certains Etats membres du Conseil de l'Europe. L'étude examine la question essentielle de savoir si ces règles nationales sont conçues de manière à aider les migrants à s'intégrer dans le pays d'accueil, en leur garantissant un statut de résidence stable et l'accès aux droits sociaux, ou si elles découragent ou même empêchent une telle intégration.
