FAIRNESS

In the FAIRNESS project CIRD e.V. will support IPoS in all relevant project aspects, especially the management and financial aspect. The consortium conducts quantitative and qualitative empirical research on different legal cases and stakeholder groups. In organized Focus Groups, practitioner-organizations (ministerial staff, judges and courts, prosecutors and law enforcement agencies) will be confronted with the implementation of the EU Directives and Framework Decisions in order to gain more insight and information on the challenges and obstacles arising during the implementation process. The IPoS will also support the partners in the legal research to further explore the legal interrelations of the Stockholm Programme. The IPoS will implement the Community of Practice for and in Germany in order to explore key topics of the implementation of the different Directives and Framework Decisions. Those CoPs are co-creative laboratories where multi-agencies and multi-disciplinary experts meet to generate creative projects, solutions and proposals for specific topics. IPoS will support the delivery and dissemination of the created toolkit at MS and EU level with an ambitious multi-channel approach to affectively address different target groups of the project.

The FAIRNESS project aims to

1. promote a balanced harmonization of the legal practices of the Member States (MS) in relation to the implementation of various EU directives (2016/343, 2016/800, 2016/1919, 2013/48 / EU) in the case a suspect or defendant is involved in crimes related to terrorism or radicalization;
2. explore the coherence between the “spirit” and the forecasts of the “Stockholm roadmap” and the investigative and preventive practices (including the 2014/41 / EU directive and the Council framework decisions 2002/584 / JHA) which involve suspects or defendants for crimes related to terrorism in the pre-trial phase.
