ECJ/ECHR Case Law Report 2021

In 2021, VSE continued to monitor European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and European Court of Justice (ECJ) victims’ rights judgements which were of interest to our advocacy work and that of our members. We identified over 25 cases that covered various issues concerning investigation into cases of child sexual abuse, secondary victimisation during criminal proceedings, investigation into hate crimes and into murders, and their consequences on, among others, the victims’ families.
