The European Social Charter (ESC), adopted in Turin on 1961 and reviewed on the Nineties, is actually dealing with both the Treaty of Lisbon and the incomplete disposal of the Article 151 of the TFEU. In particular, the protection of social rights established by the General Provisions governing the interpretation and application of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU discloses the role of the social rights as functional to the civil and political ones. In this framework, the progressive interpretation of the ESC by the European Courts of law could be considered a fundamental instrument to harmonise and implement the protection of social rights at international level, also evaluating the European Commitee of Social Rights (ESCR) decisions. Furthermore, an adequate protection of fundamental rights is now required by the reformed Article 117, sec. 1 of the Italian Constitution, as underlined by the latest decisions of the Constitutional Court.
