New state-party notification published for Protocol to ILO Forced Labour Convention (BGBl. III Nr. 129/2026)
Austria's official record of the ILO Convention No. 29 on Forced Labour has been updated to reflect a new Federal Gazette notification (BGBl. III Nr. 129/2026) announcing that an additional state has ratified the 2014 Protocol (P1) to the Convention. The change is effective as of the updated document date of 14 October 2026.
What changed
A new Kundmachung (official notification, BGBl. III Nr. 129/2026) was added to the amendment history of the Convention, recording that another country has joined the 2014 Protocol (P1) to ILO Convention No. 29 on Forced or Compulsory Labour. The document's source URL was also updated to the canonical Open Government Data address (ogd.ris.bka.gv.at).
Who is affected
This update is relevant mainly to legal professionals, government officials, and researchers who track international treaty participation. It does not alter Austria's own obligations under the Convention or its Protocol.
What to look out for
Anyone monitoring the global reach of the ILO Protocol on Forced Labour should consult the full text of BGBl. III Nr. 129/2026 to identify the newly ratifying state and the exact date of entry into force for that country.
