The proposed update of the existing Directive addresses the evolving needs of our society, developments in technology and in justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reform includes various things like ensuring that victims are well informed of their rights, have access to a universal Victim\u2019s helpline (with an EU-wide telephone number and also online chat functions and an e-mail address). There is a special focus on vulnerable victims with specific needs (such as children, elderly persons, persons with disabilities, victims of hate crime etc.) and their access to specialized support services. It is also proposed that victims should be guaranteed compensation which should be paid to them by the State and then the State would seek reimbursement from the offender.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As seen, there are quite a few changes proposed in this initiative. However, there is a lack of ambition to strengthen the restorative justice processes across the EU. In October, 2021, the European Forum for Restorative Justice (EFRJ) took&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.euforumrj.org\/en\/node11\/efrj-contributes-evaluation-eus-victims-rights-directive\">several steps<\/a>&nbsp;to support the evaluation process of the Victim\u2019s Rights Directive and submitted a position paper to the European Commission. Then, in June, 2022, the EFRJ submitted its&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.euforumrj.org\/en\/node11\/restorative-justice-revised-victims-rights-directive\">recommendations<\/a>&nbsp;to the European Commission, in particular the right to access to restorative justice and&nbsp;&nbsp;restorative justice as a generally available service in addition to further recommendations such as to consider a comprehensive EU binding act on restorative justice and to include restorative justice in other relevant EU policies and legislation on victim\u2019s rights.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the EFRJ continues to call on the EU to take this unique opportunity to increase the access to well organised, high quality restorative justice services for all victims of crime and at any stage of the criminal proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The deadline to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/info\/law\/better-regulation\/have-your-say\/initiatives\/13096-Criminal-justice-EU-rules-on-victims-rights-update-_en\">submit<\/a>&nbsp;any feedback and recommendations is midnight tonight. The feedback received then will feed the legislative debate within the European Parliament and the Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photo: pixabay.com&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are quite a few changes proposed in this initiative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":133,"featured_media":40207,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1506],"tags":[1564,3749,1875],"class_list":["post-40206","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-daily-european","tag-european-union","tag-rights","tag-victim"],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/www.ludovika.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/victimrights.jpg","author_info":{"display_name":"Schmidt Laura","author_link":"https:\/\/www.ludovika.hu\/en\/author\/schmidt-laura\/"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
