Alain Berset, Secretary-General of the Council of Europe, denounced the method used and recalled that the Convention had been an instrument of legal convergence for seventy-five years.

Carinthian Governor Peter Kaiser (SPÖ) advocates for an "open, non-ideological discussion" about a "further development" of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). Laws and international agreements are regularly revised and adapted, Kaiser stated in a blog post. The Social Democrats take a different view, said SPÖ leader Andreas Babler; NEOS chairwoman Beate Meinl-Reisinger welcomes the initiative.
