The law has been found to violate human rights, and for this reason, Austria was forced to repeal large parts of it, notably the ban on members of the Habsburg family entering Austria, before being admitted into the European Union in the 1990s.
Hukum ini dianggap melanggar hak asasi manusia, sehingga Austria terpaksa mencabut sebagian besar isinya (terutama pelarangan anggota keluarga Habsburg masuk Austria) sebelum diterima sebagai anggota Uni Eropa pada tahun 1990-an.
