The European Network on Victims’ Rights (ENVR) is an informal network of policy officers from the ministries of justice and other relevant national authorities of the EU Member States. It was established in 2016, following the Council conclusions on establishing an Informal European Network on Victims’ Rights. It became fully operational in 2018.
The ENVR aims to facilitate cooperation among Member States in the field of victims’ rights and to enhance access to justice for victims of crime. It provides a platform for government officials to exchange information and best practices on the implementation of relevant EU legislation, including in cross-border cases.
Through this cooperation, the ENVR supports the effective implementation of EU standards on victims’ rights in national practice and contributes to strengthening the protection of victims across the EU.
