Recent Austrian Practice in the Field of International Law

Abstract This selection from Austria’s recent practice in the field of international law has been prepared, once again,¹¹This 12^th report is the last under my editorship-in-chief, as retirement is threatening in 2023. I wish to avail myself of this opportunity to thank friends and colleagues at the Austrian foreign ministry, in the Vienna diplomatic community, at Graz University and abroad for making my “life in international law" (© Rutgers University, New Jersey) so enjoyable. Helmut Tichy.
