Abstract
The paper presents the results of the project “Freedom Wings. Identification and dissemination of European best practices about the restorative justice and evaluation of the role and application of the mediation and the alternative measures in the EU member states”. The project involved Italia (as coordinator), Cipro and Grecia. The main objective of the project is to collect, spread and promote at transnational level good practices of programs of restorative justice and mediation and the non-custodial treatment measures. It aims also to encourage the adoption of participating countries legal system as promised, in particular, the application programs of restorative justice and mediation (see the European Union Council Framework Decision on the position of victims in criminal proceedings, 2001/220/JHA of 15 March 2001 and the Resolution on Action Plans to implement the Vienna Declaration on Crime and Justice: the new challenges of the twenty-first century, the United Nations General Assembly - No 56/261, 31/01/2002, and the resolution on the Basic Principles on the application of restorative justice programs in criminal matters, Economic and Social Council of the United Nations No 15/2002).
