Famed for its picturesque mountains, Austria is a landlocked country in central Europe. Austrian politics is marked nationally by consensus, with “grand” coalitions across the political spectrum being common, and internationally by neutrality. Though widely acknowledged as a country with a strong record on human rights, the asylum process has been widely criticised by human rights organisations, and discrimination against children from minority backgrounds has been raised by numerous human rights mechanisms.
