I think there are countries like Germany that have introduced the option for a victim to be a third party in the criminal justice system, and even to have their own legal representation or to act as a kind of affiliate prosecutor. I think there are evaluations that are coming out of some of those approaches. I think it always has to be voluntary. We recognize that some victims would want to participate in that role, and some would not want to. I think we need to have options and choices for how victims engage with the system.
