The aim of the new UN document is to strengthen the position of victims around the world, by extending the scope of the rights granted them under the UN Declaration on Basic Principles of Justice for Victims of Crime and Abuse of Power of 29 November 1985. The description of these rights provides a basis for a discussion of the need of the Convention.
