Evaluation of the Rigts of Victims and the Bill on Helping Crime Victims in the Light of International Documents

20712

Views that the state must assume direct responsibility for redressing any victimization arising from crimes are a consequence of both being a social state and the principle that criminal law is a public matter. Giving the victim or person harmed by the crime a place within the criminal adjudication process or directing such person to file an action for damages under the framework of private law provisions is not sufficient. The Draft Law on Assisting Victims of Crime provides the opportunity to redress the victimization arising from crime out of a budget set aside by the state. The draft, which was prepared as required by the Declaration of Basic Principles of Justice for Victims of Crime and Abuse of Power and the European Convention on the Compensation of Victims of Violent Crimes provides an opportunity for the state to redress the damages suffered by persons who have been harmed as a result of a crime constituting an attack on bodily, emotional or sexual integrity or who have suffered loss as a result thereof.
