Summary/Abstract: Referring to the social developments in the context of the global economic crisis, the author examines the European Charter and other Council of Europe treaties with regard to the continental social model. Ample space is devoted to the European Social Charter revised ant its monitoring and control mechanisms and procedures after ten years since it became effective. In this respect, she analyses the status of the various social rights in Romania, in its capacity as State party, since 1999, to the European Social Charter revised; at the same time, she analyses the commitments Romania assumed by ratifying, in 2009, the European Code of Social Security, as well as in its capacity as State party to ILO’s Convention No. 102. In conclusion, she points out the need to identify solutions capable to adjust the protection of social rights to the developments, avoid deviations and prevent effects highly affecting social cohesion and democratic stability.
