!! Mise à jour 10/3/2004 – UE-Russie – réunion remise, une nouvelle date sera confirmée ultérieurement !!

On the eve of the Justice and Home Affairs Council, Amnesty International calls on the Presidency to act, as a matter of urgency, to fill the legislative gap left in European Union judicial cooperation in criminal matters by the Commission’s failure, to date, to produce a proposal for a Framework Decision on minimum standards for suspects and defendants in criminal proceedings.

Amnesty International today called on the EU Council of Ministers to develop ways in which accountability at EU level for human rights abuses within EU borders can be addressed, following the release today of a new report alleging abuses by police officers in Germany.
