In the May 2001 Commission communication on the role of human rights and democratisation in third countries, the combating of unpunished crime was ranked as a measure to be promoted as a high priority.
I Kommissionens meddelelse om menneskerettighedernes og demokratiseringens rolle i tredjelande fra maj 2001 blev bekæmpelse af manglende straf for forbrydelser klassificeret som et initiativ, som skulle prioriteres højt.
