- Guaranteeing rights of victims of crime
Description
Guaranteeing rights of victims of abuse of power involves establishing accessible legal, social, and psychological support mechanisms to ensure victims receive protection, redress, and restitution. This strategy prioritizes prompt investigation, fair judicial processes, and enforcement of accountability for perpetrators. It includes creating safe reporting channels, safeguarding victims from retaliation, and raising public awareness to prevent further abuses, thereby restoring trust in institutions and upholding the rule of law.
Implementation
The United Nations adopted a Declaration of Basic Principles of Justice for Victims of Crime and Abuse of Power in 1985.
