Austria has not yet implemented some of the recommendations of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) from its report „General Policy Recommendations No. 15 on Combating Hate Speech (2015)“ (see: ECRI General Policy Recommendations No.15 on Combating Hate Speech,2015: https://rm.coe.int/ecri-general-policy-recommendation-no-15-on-combating-hate-speech/16808b5b01). This includes the pending ratification of the „Additional Protocol to the Convention on Cybercrime“ and the „Protocol No. 12 to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.“
