Victims in Europe – 23rd Annual Conference of Victim Support Europe

On 25 and 26 June 2009, the Victims in Europe – 23rd Annual Conference of Victim Support Europe will be held at Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, in Lisbon.
The purpose of this event is to gather experts and professionals in the area of justice, social matters (civil society organisations) and policy-makers from different countries.
This Seminar will also be an opportunity to present the framework of existing rights, and debate whether these rights are in fact being implemented in the European Union. It will thus constitute an important opportunity to discuss which rights require further implementation measures, in order to meet the needs of victims of crime.
