Implement framework to ensure protection for undocumented victims of crime
On the occasion of the deadline for EU member states to transpose the EU Victims' Directive*, the Platform for International Cooperation on Undocumented Migrants (PICUM) urges national governments, authorities and law enforcement officials to effectively implement the Directive to ensure protection and justice for all victims of crime, both in law and in practice.
The EU Victims' Directive (2012/29/EU) is a legally binding instrument, adopted in 2012, granting equal rights and protection to all victims of crime. Article I of the Directive stipulates that the Directive applies to all victims of crime, regardless of their residence status. The Directive is therefore a crucial framework to support undocumented victims in obtaining protection, access to services and justice.
V?ra Jourová, European Commissioner for Justice, Consumers and Gender Equality highlighted at a recent European Parliament event**: "These days we see many vulnerable people arriving in Europe; some of them are victims of crime, others may fall victim to crime in the future. The new EU rules apply if the crime was committed in the European Union or if the proceedings take place in the European Union. Victims' rights apply without discrimination and independently of people's origin and residence status. This means that all victims of crime, including undocumented migrants, should have access to justice - and should get the support and protection they need."
Undocumented migrants are particularly vulnerable to becoming victims of crimes - in the workplace, at home, at school, on the street, in detention -- and face significant barriers to justice. However, most undocumented migrants do not report crimes committed against them to the authorities because of fear that doing so will lead to arrest or deportation. The result is repeat victimisation, and a climate of impunity for perpetrators.
