- Summary
La Strada International (LSI) actively pushes for legislative changes and more guidance at European level to promote a better application of the Non-Punishment Principle across Europe. Moreover, LSI works at a practical level on the promotion of the principle’s application through its own Working Group on Non-punishment. This Working Group has promoted further exchange on the principle and developed two Guidance Documents to support and raise awareness among all stakeholder to ensure a better application of the Non-Punishment Principle in practice; an Advocacy Document on the Non-Punishment Principle and an Explanatory Brief on the Non-Punishment Principle.This ‘Advocacy document’ is aimed at a broad audience. It informs stakeholders about the Non-Punishment principle and the importance of its correct application.
In January, multiple translated versions of this document will be published, including in German, Spanish, French, Italian, Serbian & Danish. These translated versions will include further information on the application of the principle in the applicable national context.
