La Directiva 2012/29/UE. ¿Un paso adelante en materia de protección a las víctimas en la Unión Europea?
Summary: The European Union has successfully established an area of freedom of movement and residence, from which citizens benefit when travelling from one Member State to another. However, the increasing exercise of the right to freedom of movement and the removal of internal borders have led as an inevitable consequence to an increase in the number of people who become victims of a criminal offence and become involved in criminal proceedings in a Member State other than that of their residence. In the last few years the European Union has made the protection of victims of crime one of its main priorities within the area of Freedom, Security and Justice. The Council Framework Decision 2001/220/JHA on the standing of victims in criminal proceedings represented the first step in the process of creating a legal status of the victim and the first stage in the process of harmonization of standards in this area. With the adoption of the Directive 2012/29, establishing minimum standards on the rights, support and protection of victims of crime, the European Union tries to give a step advance in the protection of the above mentioned victims establishing a more extensive catalogue of rights and granting an integral protection to the victim.
