This directory lists contact information for victim compensation programs in 29 countries, including the United States. The listing for each country includes available information like the following: eligibility requirements; claimants; procedures; benefits and award limits; compensable costs; emergency awards; funding sources; and specific contact information (addresses and phone numbers). Also, at the beginning of the directory is a table of most of the countries in the world, with a simple designation to show which countries provide or do not provide such compensation programs.
