Test Your Knowledge of Procedural Rights with FULL-PROOF Quizzes
What do procedural rights mean in practice? Find out with the Right to Know quizzes developed as part of the FULL-PROOF project. Available in eight languages, the quizzes offer an accessible way to test your knowledge and explore six areas of the procedural rights.
The quizzes are based on six EU directives adopted under the 2009 Roadmap for strengthening procedural rights of suspected or accused persons in criminal proceedings. They are intended for criminal justice professionals, particularly police officers and lawyers, as well as the wider public. Their aim is to test knowledge, raise awareness of the breadth and importance of procedural rights, and underline the need to respect them.
The multiple-choice format provides an interactive way to gain a better understanding of procedural rights in practice. The correct answers to the questions can be found in different provisions of Roadmap Directives.
