In February 2012, Austria signed the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child regarding a communication procedure, but has not yet ratified it – in contrast to the majority of EU member states ( Bundesgesetzblatt für die Republik Österreich, BGBl III Nr.92/2002) and (United Nations Ratification List of the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, May 2000). Ratification of the Optional Protocol is important to protect children’s rights and to ensure that children have an effective means of challenging violations of their rights. This has been repeatedly emphasised by civil society. Only through ratification would Austria be obliged to establish an effective complaints procedure for children and ensure that their voices are heard internationally and that their rights are protected;

Austria ratified this protocol in 1978. The Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights is an additional protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and allows individuals and groups to submit complaints to the United Nations when their rights have been violated.
