Enhancing compliance with procedural rights during initial stages of criminal proceedings

The FULL-PROOF project aims to enhance the respect for procedural rights of suspects and accused individuals, concretely those in Directive 2012/12/EU, Directive 2013/48/EU, and Directive 2016/1919/EU. By addressing common breaches of rights and promoting best practices, the project seeks to improve the implementation of procedural safeguards. 
 
FULL-PROOF will engage with police officers and legal professionals to raise awareness and knowledge, facilitating better approaches to handling suspects and accused individuals. 
 
This initiative will promote cross-professional dialogue and international communication, ultimately contributing to the respect for the Rule of Law across the EU.
