Session
2026 - Second part-session

Summary

The Parliamentary Assembly recommends enhancing efforts to combat social dumping and labour exploitation across Europe, referencing past resolutions and the European Social Charter as key frameworks. It urges member States to accept additional provisions and ratify the revised Charter to strengthen commitment and action. Furthermore, it highlights the necessity for an international legally binding instrument to address the negative impacts of business activities on human rights, advocating for accelerated negotiations based on the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. The Committee of Ministers is called upon to guide national governments in implementing these recommendations and support the legislative process.
