Rule of Law and social rights in Slovakia – enhanced monitoring and awareness raising

Project awarded under the call ‘Small Grants 2025’ launched by ENNHRI: Project SGA-CERV-2025-05 — Rule of Law and social rights in Slovakia – enhanced monitoring and awareness raising

Implementation period: 06/2025 – 11/2025

Description of the project

The project of the Slovak National Centre for Human Rights will focus on the rule of law by publishing and disseminating a Slovak language and nationally focused version of ENNHRI’s rule of law report. Key issues covered by the report will be presented at a launch event and during public discussions organised by the NHRI at the national level. The project will also address social rights. As part of this, the NHRI will prepare a submission to the European Committee of Social Rights and support civil society organisations to do the same through a seminar and targeted support.

The project objectives

Both strands of the project follow the aim of the Centre to strengthen its role and promote a broad interpretation of its legal mandate in order to build and strengthen own capacities of the Centre with a broad array of expertise related to human rights, as well as strengthen the argument for a broad mandate in line with the Paris Principles and the SCA recommendations.
