Summary: The Principality of Liechtenstein is one of the smallest countries in Europe, with only 36 000 inhabitants. Political power is shared equally between the elected Parliament/the people and the monarch. The Parliament decides on new legislation, which can be amended by the electorate by means of popular initiative or referendum. New laws must be sanctioned by the Prince. Criminal and civil law is handled by the ordinary courts, and appeals are dealt with by the Upper Court in the first instance, and ultimately by the High Court. However, in cases of dispute between citizens and organs of the state, the Administrative Court and the Constitutional Court act as the relevant courts of law. Liechtenstein follows a monist approach to the adoption of international law. The legal system requires that all acts must conform to the Constitution of the Principality of Liechtenstein and relevant international treaties. Directives 2000/78/EC and 2000/43/EC are based on Article 13 of the EC Treaty. Summary: The directives have not been incorporated into the EEA Agreement. Liechtenstein, as a Member State of the EEA and a non-member of the European Union, has refrained from implementing the directives autonomously. The reluctant attitude of Liechtenstein can be explained by the lack of administrative resources and the overriding objective to keep regulatory density as low as possible. Liechtenstein has not signed nor ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), which is regarded as a global standard. Given the recommendations to ratify the CRPD by the Human Rights Council’s Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review in February 2018, discussions on this issue have gained new momentum at national level. At the end of September 2018, the Government organised a national conference to evaluate the impact of ratifying the CRPD. The outcome has not yet been made public, and no decision has been taken by the Government on the issue so far. Summary: There has been no official case law in Liechtenstein in 2018 regarding discrimination on grounds of race or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation. There is no case law in respect of Roma. As of the date of this report, there are very few Roma in Liechtenstein. |
