PROTECȚIA, CONSOLIDAREA ȘI GARANTAREA DREPTURILOR VICTIMELOR INFRACȚIUNILOR ÎN CADRUL UE

Abstract

Protection, respect and promotion of the crime victims’ rights represent a priority for the European Union. EU adopted several legislative acts in order to ensure respect for the rights of this category of persons. The EU Strategy on victims’ rights (2020-2025) was adopted in 2020. This act summarizes the rights of victims regulated by the directives adopted earlier, and introduces a mechanism for the realization of these rights, which requires actions by both national States and EU institutional bodies. The significance of this strategy is confirmed by the fact that it represents a first strategy adopted by the EU for protecting victims of crimes and enumerates the concrete states’ actions that should be undertaken for guaranteeing the rights of this category of persons. In this study, we aimed to analyze the EU Strategy on victims’ rights (2020-2025), to highlight the insurance mechanism and implementation of their rights, as well as the applicability of this strategy for the Republic of Moldova at the recommendation level.
