Filed under: Victim care
This second follow-up report assesses the implementation of recommendations made in 2012 and revisited in 2016 concerning victim assistance in St. Maarten. Despite previous evaluations, significant progress has not been made; out of fifteen key recommendations, only four have been partially implemented, while eleven remain unaddressed. Key areas needing attention include the formalization of victim support processes, the establishment of a victim support office, and the creation of a compensation fund for victims. The report emphasizes the urgent need for action to provide adequate support to victims and ensure that these recommendations are finally implemented.
