Secretary General Jagland meets representatives of terrorism victims groups

“Today, I had a very fruitful exchange of views with associations representing victims of terrorist acts” explained Secretary General Thorbjørn Jagland.

“Mr Dag André Anderssen, Vice President of the Norwegian support group after the 22 of July, Ms Lisbeth Røyneland, Chairwoman of the Norwegian support group after the 22 of July, Mr Georges Salines, President of 13ONZE15, Fraternité et Vérité, and Ms Ophélie Toullion, Coordinator of support to victims (FENVAC) informed me about the difficulties faced by victims of terrorism and their families, as well as of their needs.

This very useful exchange will help us to update the Council of Europe Guidelines on the protection of victims of terrorist acts from 2005.

It will also enable us to work more closely with associations of victims from our member states, to strengthen the protection of victims and to give them a voice, as well as to fight terrorism”.
