Call for Proposals: Action grants to support transnational projects to enhance the rights of persons suspected or accused of crime and the rights of victims of crime (Justice Programme)
by Catherine MALLET
A recent call from the EU Justice Programme has been published for action grants to support transnational projects to enhance the rights of persons suspected or accused of crime and the rights of victims of crime. This could be interesting for The Salvation Army’s work with victims of human trafficking for example. The call aims to:
a) to contribute to the effective and coherent application of EU criminal law in the area of the rights of persons suspected or accused of crime (procedural rights priority), and
b) to contribute to the effective and coherent application of EU criminal law in the area of the rights of victims of crime (victims' rights priority).
Activities to be funded under the second priority could include for example:
- Mutual learning, exchange of good practices, development of working methods which may be transferable to other participating countries;
- exchange and provision of information and development of information tools;
- capacity building for professionals;
- facilitating cooperation between competent authorities, including national experts dealing with the aspects covered by this call, agencies, legal practitioners and/or service providers (including networks at EU, national, regional or local levels);
- communication activities including dissemination of information about victims' rights and activities aimed at raising awareness of the existing rules on victims' rights at EU and national levels;
