Inhaltsangabe

This book provides an international comparative analysis of victim rights' frameworks. The text presents comparative materials on victim rights, laws and policies across a range of countries, legal systems and international bodies such as the ECHR and ICC. The work advances the argument that boundaries which were once cited as distinguishing one system of justice from another are being slowly dismantled by statutory and policy amendment to afford victims a greater role in government decision-making, in legal proceedings, as community stakeholders, and as individuals with enforceable rights.
