Setting up a non-governmental center for human rights in Liechtenstein

The ESPN Flash Reports are produced by the European Social Policy Network (ESPN) established in 2014 to provide the European Commission with independent information, analysis and expertise on social policies. The topics presented in the Flash Reports are identified by ESPN experts in the light of significant developments in their countries, or in some cases suggested by the Commission.

The ESPN is managed by LISER and APPLICA, with the support of OSE - European Social Observatory. For more information, please visit this website.
The close link between the Office for Equal Opportunities and the Liechtenstein government had triggered criticism since 2013. By the end of 2015, the government proposed to set up a non-profit organisation, which would be an independent institution acting on its own initiative.
