Summary

The chapter provides an overview of the complex and vast legal framework that the EU has adopted in recent decades to protect victims of crime in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice, especially from the point of view of procedural rights. Particular attention is paid to both relevant CJEU case law and the stance taken by national legal systems at the time of implementing EU minimum standards. The chapter also examines the impact of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU on the standard and scope of the rights of victims. The final part of the chapter looks to the future, evoking some developments that will hopefully be introduced in the next few years to compensate for the lack of effectiveness that, in many cases, still characterises the rights of victims within the AFSJ.
