European Court of Human Rights case-law on social security -- Execution of European Court of Human Rights judgments -- Examples of execution measures adopted by states in the social security field -- Conclusion -- Appendix: list of the principal cases.

There is no mention in the European Convention on Human Rights of rights in the field of social security. Nevertheless, the Convention does protect certain of these rights which come into its area of application and this study sets out to explain how. It also examines recent developments in the relevant case-law of the European Court of Human Rights which, as well as affording procedural guarantees, has widened and strengthened the material protection of specific rights. In addition, examples are given of measures taken in the member states following judgments of the Court in cases concerning social security.--Publisher's description.
