Dr Stefano Angeleri explores the intersections of health, well-being and migration at an international conference on the European Social Charter in Romania

On 23 October, Dr Stefano Angeleri participated online in the international conference "Romania and the Revised European Social Charter, on its 30th Anniversary”, organised by the Faculty of Economic Sciences and Law of the National University of Science and Technology POLITEHNICA, in partnership with the Senate of Romania and the European Committee of Social Rights. 

Marking 30 years since the adoption of the Revised European Social Charter in Romania, the conference brought together representatives of the Council of Europe, public authorities, legal experts and members of the academic community to discuss the protection of economic and social rights, equal opportunities, and the implementation of the Charter’s principles in and beyond Romania. 

Dr Angeleri delivered a paper entitled “What does the Social Charter system tell us about the intertwined relationship between health, well-being and migration?” His contribution highlighted the importance of understanding health in its broader social dimensions and argued that social justice and equality require insisting on truly universal social rights regardless of migration status, a call that is particularly urgent at a time of growing challenges to pluralistic democracies and the rule of law.
