Abstract

France is undoubtedly a "model student" in its commitments to the European Social Charter. However, at the domestic level, the picture was more mixed with regard to the Charter's lack of effectiveness due to the rejection of its justiciable nature. In recent years, the fate of the Charter has improved due to the recognition of its direct effect by French judges. Nevertheless, as this recognition is only partial and some violations of the Charter by French law persist, there is still room for progress.
