Remarks to progress by Liga (last modified Dec 31, 2024):

The International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families is an agreement supported by the United Nations that aims to improve the legal status of migrants with worker status, seasonal and casual workers and their family members. Despite its international commitment, Austria has not yet ratified this convention (see resolution on ratification ICMW: https://www.parlament.gv.at/gegenstand/XXII/A/763). The discrepancy between the signing of international agreements and their actual implementation in national law raises questions and could give rise to a review and possible reassessment of these decisions. This could be an opportunity for Austria to strengthen its commitment to the protection and promotion of the rights of migrant workers and their family members.

Remarks to progress by Liga (last modified Dec 31, 2024):

Austria signed the Third Optional Protocol to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child on 28 February 2012, which allows children an individual complaints procedure for violations of children’s rights, but has not yet ratified it. This lack of ratification means that children in Austria do not have the opportunity to appeal directly to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child if their rights are violated and national legal remedies have been exhausted. Even though Austria was actively involved internationally in the drafting of the protocol, the legal step to fully recognise this important right of appeal has not yet been taken (Netzwerk Kinderrechte Österreich: Umsetzung & Monitoring in Österreich).
