The Council of Europe has repeatedly recognized the importance of the role and participation of victims of terrorism in the fight against terrorism and the promotion of their rights. For instance, the revised Guidelines on the protection of victims of terrorist acts of 201767 encourage Member States to promote the involvement of victims of terrorism in raising public awareness on the damage caused by terrorist violence (Article XII). States are also encouraged to “co-operate with and facilitate as much as possible the actions of civil society representatives, and especially those of the associations for the protection of victims” (Article XIII).

It should be noted that these last two provisions did not exist in the version of the Guidelines on the protection of victims of terrorist acts of 200568 and follow the report of the Secretary General of the Committee of Ministers of 201669, which encouraged the revision of the 2005 Guidelines in order to promote the involvement of victims of terrorism in the fight against terrorism and public awareness.
