The documents of the UN, the European Council and the EU contain guidelines for the foundation of funds for the public compensation of the victims of violence, and the comparative European experiences indicate by their action the existing system of social protection is completed.

That reason should have priority in relation to other, pragmatic, criminal-political reasons and the obligation of the domestic legislation to (formally) adjust itself to the European standards.
