Pravno varstvo, pravice žrtev in pravosodno sodelovanje

Directive 2012/29/EU represents a milestone in the development of victims’ rights. It establishes minimum standards for the rights, support and protection of victims of crime. It defines the scope of support services, guarantees the right to effective protection against secondary victimisation and comprehensively regulates the measures required for this purpose. This report covers three core components underpinning victims’ rights: support services, crime reporting, and protection from secondary and repeat victimisation. Examples highlight the relevant legal provisions in Member States and how specific rights under the Victims’ Rights Directive work in practice.

Teroristična dejanja resno ogrožajo življenje in varnost ljudi ter so obsežen varnostni izziv za države članice. Zakonodaja, politike in drugi ukrepi za boj proti terorizmu lahko obenem neposredno ali posredno močno omejujejo temeljne pravice ter lahko škodljivo vplivajo na posameznike, skupine in družbo kot celoto. V tem povzetku so predstavljene glavne ugotovitve Agencije Evropske unije za temeljne pravice (FRA) iz njenega poročila o Direktivi (EU) 2017/541 o boju proti terorizmu, ki je glavni instrument kazenskega prava na ravni EU na področju boja proti terorizmu.

Every child has a right to be protected even when they are accused or suspected of committing a crime. The basic principles of justice apply to adults and children alike.

The report looks at the practical implementation of Directive (EU) 2016/800 on procedural safeguards for children who are suspects or accused persons in criminal proceedings in nine Member States – Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Estonia, Italy, Malta, Poland and Portugal.
