This book explores the impact of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) when defining and protecting pension entitlements as property rights.

The sustainability of pension systems in Europe is threatened by mounting public debt and demographic shifts. In recent decades, governments have addressed these challenges by implementing reforms to balance financial stability and guarantee adequate retirement benefits. Many of these reforms have faced legal challenges from activists and lawyers in domestic courts, based on 'stand-still' and 'non-retrogression' constitutional principles. However, Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 of the ECHR offers an alternative approach that protects social security entitlements, including pensions, as private property, deserving of protection against unjustified state interference.

This book explores the historical legal rationale employed by the Court to establish social security entitlements as private property. It further examines how the Court has assessed reforms through a proportionality assessment that weights public interests against individual rights. This analysis distils key principles such as reasonableness, non-discrimination, and fair distribution of burdens that can guide policymakers towards responsible, rights-compliant reform.

Hartmann-Cort�s prompts critical inquiry into an often-overlooked framework that will be of interest to policymakers, legal scholars, and anyone engaged in debates at the intersection of pension law, property rights, and social welfare law.
