Conference: Crime victims’ access to justice in the European Union

On the 18th and 19th of April the Academy of European Law organised in Trier a conference on the topic of crime victims’ access to justice in the European Union (EU).

The seminar focused on the analysis and discussion of the new Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council  establishing minimum standards on the rights, support and protection of victims of crime and on the mutual recognition systems for protection measures within the EU.

The seminar was enriched by the active participation of several judicial practitioners and jurists of victim support organisations from various European countries: France, Belgium, Romania, Spain and Portugal.
