Ombudsman Luisser: Ombudsman Board ensures human rights at the highest level

"Although human rights standards are already very high in Austria, there is of course also a need for us to regularly monitor compliance with them, because anyone who stops wanting to be better has stopped being good," says Christoph Luisser, the current Chairman of the Austrian Ombudsman Board, on Human Rights Day.

This is what the Austrian Ombudsman Board is there for as the "House of Human Rights". With its commissions, it monitors and promotes the observance of human rights in Austria and reports annually to Parliament and the provincial parliaments. "The Ombudsman Board's list of suggestions for improving the human rights situation in Austria contained in the Preventive Human Rights Monitoring Report is long and is constantly being added to," says Ombudsman Luisser.
