This UPR tool reflects the global recommendations made to Austria by all countries world-wide during the Universial Priodic Review process (UPR) at the UN Human Rights Council and their current status of implementation. The League coordinates a significant part of Austrian civil society in the UPR process. See this LINK for an overview about this process.
The recommendations can be filtered in the menu below by human rights topics, SDGs, proponent states etc. And also a search function is available.
We welcome your comments and suggestions at upr@liga.or.at.

Remarks to progress by Liga (last modified Dec 31, 2024):
Austria has not yet ratified the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime, which was adopted by the Council of Europe on 23 November 2001. This convention is the first international treaty to set legal standards for combating cybercrime, including measures for criminal prosecution and international cooperation in the case of internet-based offences such as data misuse, cyber fraud and child pornography. It serves many countries as the basis for national laws on cybercrime, but Austria has not yet joined the treaty.
The Additional Protocol of 2003, which specifically addresses racist and xenophobic offences on the Internet, has also not been ratified by Austria. Although the treaty has been adopted by over 60 countries and is recognised worldwide as a directive, Austria has decided to implement its regulations on cybercrime at a national level without being formally bound by the Budapest Convention;
