Sažetak
The right to fair remuneration constitutes a fundamental employment-related entitlement and a cornerstone of the adequate standard of living. Closely linked to various provisions of the Revised (1996) European Social Charter – such as the right to social security – it not only ensures individuals can meet basic subsistence needs but also empowers them to autonomously pursue their life plans within market-based democracies. Its adequate protection is essential to preventing poverty, promoting social inclusion, and safeguarding equal opportunities in the labour market as well as in society. The European Committee of Social Rights plays a crucial role in this regard by monitoring compliance with the Charter, interpreting its provisions, and assessing whether national laws and practices align with the standards of fair remuneration set out in international law. The contribution examines the right to fair remuneration from different perspectives within as well as outside the European Social Charter, indicating its global importance and the sometimes-overlooked link to a number of other (social and economic) rights which together allow for persons’ development and execution of life plans in marked democracies. Since only a handful of countries, Members of the Council of Europe have not yet ratified the Revised European Social Charter, the article primarily focuses on the latter and not on the initial European Social Charter from 1961.
