SUMMARY:Launch of the Model Legislative Provisions for Victims of Terrorism
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism/UN Counter-Terrorism Centre (UNOCT/UNCCT)\, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU)\, invite you to the Launch of the Model Legislative Provisions\, which will take place virtually on Friday 4 February at 8:30am EST. \nThe event aims to bring together Member States\, Members of Parliament\, United Nations entities and civil society organizations\, victims’ associations and victims of terrorism for the official Launch of the model legislative provisions and to discuss how legal frameworks can strengthen national support for the rights and needs of victims. \nVictims of terrorist acts frequently suffer severe\, multiple and lifealtering injuries\, akin to harm suffered by victims of grave human\nrights violations and international crimes. In addition to other forms of\nreparation\, compensation for harm suffered can play an important role\nin enabling victims to move on with their lives. \nThe purpose of developing model legislative provisions was twofold. First\,\nthey will serve as a model for the review of existing laws and procedures\nrelated to victims of terrorism in line with recent advances on this subject\nmatter and the development of legislation where no legislation exists.\nSecondly\, the provisions can systematize and promote the exchange of\ninformation regarding existing good practices. Additionally\, the development\nof model provisions can serve to draw attention to the urgency of taking\nconcrete steps to protect\, assist and support victims of terrorism.\nIn the framework of the IPU-UN Joint Programme on Countering Terrorism\nand Violent Extremism\, between November 2020 and January 2021\, UNOCT\,\nUNODC and IPU convened a series of virtual expert consultations on specific\nthemes to be covered by the model legislative provisions. These virtual\nconsultations followed the organization of an online Expert Consultation on\nModel Provisions regarding victims of terrorism organized on 14–15 July\n2020 with participants from national institutions\, parliaments\, civil society\norganizations and academic institutions as well as experts from other parts\nof the United Nations system and from regional organizations. The Model\nLegislative Provisions for Victims of Terrorism have been developed with\nthe support of a core group of experts composed of different UN Entities\,\nacademia\, representative of victims’ associations and victims themselves.\nThe event aims to bring together Member States\, Members of Parliament\,\nUnited Nations entities and civil society organizations\, victims’ associations\nand victims of terrorism for the official Launch of the model legislative\nprovisions and to discuss how legal frameworks can strengthen national\nsupport for the rights and needs of victims. \nPlease kindly express your availability by registering using the following link no later than Thursday 3 February 2022 COB.

SUMMARY:Live Debate: Future of Justice for Victims in the European Union
DESCRIPTION:On the European Day for Victims of Crime\, Victim Support Europe is organising an online live debate on the “Future of Justice for Victims in the European Union“. We kindly invite you to join this online event that will take place on Tuesday 22 February 2022\, between 14:00 and 16:00 CET.  \n\nWith this event\, we aim to take the debate forward and explore the fundamentals of achieving a safe justice system. The principles of safe justice and its application in practice will be outlined\, followed by a live testimony of Nina Fuchs – a showcase of the structural and systematic discrimination that victims of sexualised violence are exposed to by the judiciary. Building on a victims’ perspective in accessing justice and the practical barriers they face\, we will conduct the debate on the following key discussion points:\n\n\nTackling underreporting of crimes;\nEnsuring victims’ access to information\, support and protection throughout the criminal justice process;\nEnsuring active participation of victims in the criminal justice process;\nAvailability of reparations and remedies for victims.\n\nThe objective of this discussion is to explore the possibilities and to present approaches which may better serve victims and their community in achieving safe justice.\n\n\nThe live debate will be hosted on ZOOM. We kindly ask to register in advance for this event here. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nThe event it is organised as part of the Conference on the Future of Europe. The Conference provides the opportunity for European citizens to debate on Europe’s challenges and priorities and to put forward recommendations.
