The project JUSTICE FOR ALL – Enhancing the Rights of Defendants and Detainees with Intellectual and/or Psychosocial Disabilities: EU Cross-Border Transfers, Detention and Alternatives is coming to an end

After two years of research at national and international level and consultations with stakeholders from different fields (including judges, prosecutors, lawyers, representatives of national supervisory authorities and other oversight mechanisms, medical experts, social workers, probation officers and other relevant actors), we presented our findings at:

• Final National Consultation, held in Ljubljana on 17 November 2023
• The final international conference, held online on 6 December 2023

On the basis of our findings, we made recommendations to improve the situation and respect for the rights of defendants, detainees and prisoners with intellectual and/or psychosocial disabilities in cross-border cases: European Arrest Warrant proceedings, transfers of convicted persons between EU countries, procedures with supervision measures, and the enforcement of probation and alternative sanctions. We have also looked at domestic systemic issues that may affect cross-border cooperation in practice.
