Wijziging van het Wetboek van Strafvordering en het Wetboek van Strafrecht in verband met de nadere versterking van de positie van het slachtoffer in het strafproces (Wet uitbreiding slachtofferrechten)
This Dutch bill amends the Code of Criminal Procedure and the Criminal Code to further strengthen the position of victims within criminal proceedings. The title refers to the 'Wet uitbreiding slachtofferrechten' (Victims' Rights Extension Act). Based on the title alone, it aims to give crime victims a stronger role and more rights as the case moves through the justice system. The change would mainly affect crime victims in the Netherlands, as well as prosecutors, courts and other justice authorities who handle criminal cases. The exact new rights and obligations are not detailed in the metadata and would need to be checked in the full text of the bill.
