The visual identity of the European The visual identity of the
European Social Charter, created by the Italian artist Luca
Rimini, is always published together with the logo of the
Council of Europe. It illustrates three faces which unite to
form a hand, as a symbol of unity, solidarity and cooperation.
The hand may also be seen as offering protection and as being a
vector of control. This reflects what the Charter is about and
what the European Committee of Social Rights is seeking to
achieve – the implementation of human social rights through the
efforts of the States Parties to this instrument, and subject to
compliance within a legal framework monitored by an independent
body of a judicial nature.
