UN Safety Convention: two new 2026 scope notifications added to Austria's treaty record

Austria's treaty record for the Convention on the Safety of UN and Associated Personnel has been updated with two new scope notifications (BGBl. III Nr. 127/2026 and 128/2026), indicating that further states have acceded to the convention and/or its optional protocol. The treaty has been in force for Austria since 6 October 2000.

Official reference
BGBl. III Nr. 180/2000 ↗

What changed

Two new scope announcements (Kundmachungen über den Geltungsbereich, Federal Law Gazette BGBl. III Nr. 127/2026 and 128/2026) were added to the amendment history, signalling that additional states have joined the Convention on the Safety of UN and Associated Personnel and/or its Optional Protocol. The document's source URL was also updated from www.ris.bka.gv.at to ogd.ris.bka.gv.at.

Who is affected

International law professionals, NGOs, UN-affiliated organisations, and anyone working on missions involving UN or associated personnel who needs to know which states are currently bound by the convention.

What to look out for

The full treaty text has been removed from this consolidated metadata record; the legal text itself remains accessible through Austria's Federal Law Gazette (Bundesgesetzblatt). Austria's obligations under the convention are unchanged.
