The fight against terrorism is receiving increased awareness due to
recent wor- wide large-scale terrorist acts, and only since then
has some attention been directed specifically to victims of
terrorism. Existing legal instruments of international b- ies like
the European Union, the Council of Europe and the United Nations c-
cerning victims of terrorism are relatively abstract or include
victims of terrorism under the broader heading of victims of crime
in general. In addition, policies and legislation relating to
victims of crime or victims of terrorism vary widely on the
domestic level. Against this background, the European Union
commissioned a project that should aim to develop more extensive
standards for the aid and ass- tance of victims of terrorism at the
European level. This study provides the basis from which more
extensive standards could be derived. The study focuses parti-
larly on developing standards in the field of continuing
assistance, access to justice, administration of justice and
compensation to victims of terrorism. A novel feature of the
approach is that also the possible utility of restorative justice
approaches is examined. An important question to address was
whether there is a real need to adopt s- cific standards for
victims of terrorism, thereby implying that their needs might
differ from victims of ordinary crime.
