A/HRC/42/42/Add.2 104. With regard to private military and security companies, the Working Group recommends that the Government of Austria: (a) Consider introducing legislation dedicated specifically to the regulation of private military and security companies, including a requirement that any private military or security company that is registered to do business in Austria or that seeks to contract for services in the country, including with the Government of Austria, must be a member in good standing with the International Code of Conduct for Private Security Providers’ Association; (b) Ensure that any deprivation of liberty of irregular or undocumented migrants, including in the Vordernberg facility, is imposed for the shortest duration possible; (c) Ensure that any detention of migrants on the ground of their irregular status is not punitive in nature; (d) Consider the indigent and impoverished situation that is often faced by undocumented migrants and ensure that they are not charged or required to pay for their detention; (e) Ensure that children are not detained in the Vordernberg facility and similar facilities, by verifying and cross-checking the age of detainees with the Federal Office for Immigration and Asylum; (f) Ensure that psychosocial support, appropriate medical assistance and legal support are provided for detainees in Vordernberg and that follow-up procedures are regularly carried out for those in need of care; (g) Ensure that the contracting of private security companies to run detention facilities is the exception and not the norm, and ensure that their functions do not involve those reserved for State institutions vis-à-vis persons deprived of their liberty; (h) Consider providing support for the negotiation of a binding international regulation on private military and security companies. 18
