Remarks to progress by Liga (last modified Dec 31, 2024):
In Austria, there is currently no specific legislation to guide companies in conflict areas to respect human rights. The focus is on general human rights issues in Austria. According to Amnesty International, there are insufficient measures to systematically prevent human rights violations and there are no specific regulations for companies in conflict zones. So far, efforts have tended to focus on general human rights obligations and domestic human rights issues.
