It rather is based on treaty regulations made after the opening up of Eastern Europe in 1989. This fundamental political change was sealed with a number of treaties. 1.

No. 1661 (QL) Date of Decision: May 13, 1999 In this issue: Key Terms Summary of Facts Significant Issues Decision ... Lex View Commentary Key Terms: Criminal punishment; "Victims Bill of Rights;" the role of victims in criminal justice Summary of Facts: The daughter of the applicant Vanscoy was shot by a young offender and died from her wounds. The applicant Even had been violently assaulted by her former common-law husband, resulting in some permanent disability. Both applicants objected strongly to the plea bargains which each of the accused made with the Crown. The killer of Vanscoy's daughter plea bargained to a trial in youth court, with a joint recommendation from Crown and defence that there be a two year sentence for manslaughter. Even's assailant was charged with attempted murder, but that charge was dropped in exchange for a guilty plea to the lesser charge of aggravated assault. The Ontario legislature had enacted a statute known as the Victims Bill of Rights; (An Act Respecting Victims of Crime, S.O. 1995, c. 6). Both applicants sought a judicial declaration that the Crown's conduct of the prosecutions violated their rights under the Victims Bill of Rights.

I. Preamble Victim-Offender Mediation (also known as Victim-Offender Dialogue and/or conferencing) is the process of bringing together the victim of a crime and his or her offender in a safe, controlled setting that is assisted by a trained mediator. Using mediation skills and processes of voluntariness, neutrality, confidentiality, problem-solving, and self-determination, the mediator facilitates a discussion between the parties and provides a structure for the opportunity to allow grieving and healing. It should be understood that the process of mediated dialogue is not necessarily a resolution of conflict but may be a process of healing. The mediator addresses the needs of each party and helps them communicate and explore options. The purposes are to provide:

Fernando is a well-known human rights activist, and as director of the Hong Kong-based Asian Human Rights Commission, he has championed the rule of law in many Asian countries. In The right to speak loudly Fernando shares with the reader his many years of hands-on experience with human rights issues in Hong Kong, Cambodia and Sri Lanka. One could mention that, at the United Nations level, Ms. Christy Mbonu, Alternate Expert Member of the UN Sub-Commission for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights, echoed this link in her 2003 working paper on "Corruption and its impact on the full enjoyment of human rights, in particular economic, social and cultural rights". She observed in that paper that In many societies, bad leadership breeds corruption and poverty. Unfortunately, poverty itself induces corruption in the societies. Everywhere corruption is frowned at, yet, in many countries, corruption thrives, and becomes systemic or endemic; it becomes a way of life. In some it is blatant and crude; in others it may be refined and indeed camouflaged in public relations budgets. Whether open, endemic or systemic, blatant or polished, corruption has disastrous effects on society generally and on most vulnerable groups in particular. ... Corruption creates poverty, which in turn engenders denial of economic, political, social, civil and cultural rights.

Chairman Otis Warren called the meeting to order at 12:20 p.m. Those present were: Robert Embry - The Abell Foundation G. I. Johnson - NAACP J. Richard Thomas - Thomas Associates, L.L.P. GBC staff attending were: Devon Dodson Chris Barnhart Nancy Marks Jody Sprinkle Walter Sondheim GBC Vice President, Devon Dodson introduced Russell Butler, Executive Director of the Maryland Crime Victims' Resource Center, Inc. Mr. Butler's career aiding victims of crime began at the Stephanie Roper Foundation where he used his skills as an attorney to benefit crime victims. Mr. Butler stated that the Maryland Crime Victims' Resource Center is devoted to ensuring victims' rights pursuant to Article 47 of the Maryland State Constitution, recently enacted by the legislature to enumerate the rights victims possess under Maryland law. His presentation focused on those rights such as the assertion of victims' rights throughout criminal trials, requesting and collecting restitution, appealing Criminal Injuries Compensation Board decisions, family issues, other legal issues and sensitivity during all phases of the process. Mr. Butler said that "Rights without A Remedy is Just Rhetoric". In an effort to extend the assertion of victims' rights, the Maryland Crime Victims' Resource Center has launched a new effort known as the Crime Victims' Law Clinic. Because Mr. Butler believes it will be attorneys who will make the difference in helping victims deal with the aftermath of crime, this law clinic is comprised of attorneys and law students working pro bono. By their work, rights become actions through the efforts of counsel.

U.S. Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Office for Victims of Crime Over the past three decades, the criminal justice field has witnessed an astounding proliferation of statutory enhancements benefiting people who are most directly and intimately affected by crime. As of 2000, all states had passed some form of legislation to benefit victims. In addition, 32 states have recognized the supreme importance of fundamental and express rights for crime victims by raising those protections to the constitutional level. Restitution: Making It Work, the fifth in the series, provides an overview of state legislation and current issues related to the collection of court-ordered restitution to crime victims. Although every state has enacted legislation on this issue, many crime victims who are awarded restitution never receive any money or receive only a small portion of what the court has ordered the defendant to pay.This bulletin and the others in the Legal Series highlight various circumstances in which relevant laws are applied, emphasizing their successful implementation. We hope that victims, victim advocates, victim service providers, criminal justice professionals, and policymakers in states across the Nation will find the bulletins in this series helpful in making sense of the criminal justice process and in identifying areas in which rights could be strengthened or more clearly defined.We encourage you to use these bulletins not simply as informational resources but as tools to support victims in their involvement with the criminal justice system.
