Summary/Abstract: The legal process of witness protection is related to the provision of specific procedural and non-procedural safeguards designed to effectively ensure their safety, including in some cases their relatives, before, during and after testimony. Law enforcement officers may also be provided with the safeguards that are available to witnesses. By means of these measures, the respective state fulfills its obligation to protect citizens cooperating with justice from criminal offenses that prevent witness testimony.
