JUSTICE FOR ALL OVERVIEW OF THE REPORT This comparative report summarises research findings and analyses of the situation of defendants and detainees with intellectual and/ or psychosocial disabilities within the national systems of Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, Italy, Lithuania and Slovenia. The report contains key recommendations on the various topics covered by the project to enhance the rights of defendants and detainees with intellectual and/or psychosocial disabilities. Part 1 has two purposes: to give an overview of the current international standards on the issues concerning safeguards, detention and alternatives to detention for persons with intellectual and/or psychosocial disabilities; and to assess the level of implementation of these standards under the national systems of the six partner countries. To achieve the first objective, Part 1 analyses current standards relevant for EU Member States, including those set by the UN, CoE, and EU, and reflects on how these interrelate and complement each other. As for the second objective, Part 1 provides a comprehensive overview of the status quo in the partner countries. It compares the laws and policies of the six EU Member States and analyses their application, identifying challenges and promising practices. Whenever relevant, examples from other EU Member States gathered during the EU wide project consultations were also added. Part 2 analyses the four EU cross-border Framework Decisions and their implementation in the six partner countries. It assesses the existing provisions most relevant for defendants and detainees with intellectual and/or psychosocial disabilities in light of fundamental rights standards. Simultaneously, Part 2 will provide an overview of the application of the instruments in practice and identify challenges and promising practices. The Annex contains case studies on different promising practices in the partner countries. 19
