巴巴多斯通过了一项法律,允许证人在法庭匿名,以打击恐吓行为,但缺乏充分的保护措施。 Barbados passed a law allowing witness anonymity in court to combat intimidation, but lacks full protection measures.

巴巴多斯通过了2025年《刑事诉讼(证人匿名)法案》,允许法院通过语音调制、远程证词和屏幕等措施保护证人身份,目的是在犯罪和恐吓恐惧加剧的情况下鼓励作证。 Barbados has passed the Criminal Proceedings (Witness Anonymity) Bill, 2025, allowing courts to protect witness identities through measures like voice modulation, remote testimony, and screens, aiming to encourage testimony amid rising crime and intimidation fears. 虽然法律专家赞扬这一举动是必要的一步,但他们强调,它缺乏全面的证人保护方案,没有重新安置、安全住房或长期支助。 While legal experts praise the move as a necessary step, they stress it falls short of a full witness protection program, lacking relocation, safe housing, or long-term support. 对于在一个小社会中保持匿名以及对公平审判的潜在影响,特别是在对匿名证人进行交叉盘问时,人们仍然感到关切。 Concerns remain about maintaining anonymity in a small society and the potential impact on fair trials, especially when cross-examining anonymous witnesses. 法律尚未适用,而且由于资金和后勤方面的挑战,像加共体计划这样的区域努力仍然不一致。 The law does not yet apply, and regional efforts like CARICOM’s program remain inconsistent due to funding and logistical challenges.
