Council of Europe: Experts Start Drafting Guidelines for Terrorism Victims

Experts from the Council of Europe have started drafting “Guidelines on aid for victims of terrorist acts and protection of their fundamental rights”. These will follow the Guidelines on Human Rights and the Fight Against Terrorism adopted by the Committee of Ministers in 2002. The expert group will meet again in October and will submit a text to the Steering Committee for Human Rights for examination and adoption at its November meeting.
