Remarks to progress by Liga (last modified Dec 31, 2024):
On 4 November 2000, Protocol No. 12 to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms was adopted and entered into force on 1 April 2005. The Protocol establishes a comprehensive prohibition of discrimination, ensuring that everyone has the right to the full enjoyment of all rights set out in law without discrimination on the basis of sex, race, colour, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, association with a national minority, property, birth or other status. The ratification of Protocol No. 12 by Austria would mean that the country undertakes to enforce and promote the prohibition of discrimination in all areas of public life. Austria would thus take an important step towards strengthening human rights and equal treatment in society (see Protocol No. 12: https://www.menschenrechtskonvention.eu/protokoll-nr-12-emrk-9277/).
