Hate crime recorded by police
KEY OBSERVATION
ODIHR observes that Belarus has not reported information and statistics on hate crimes to ODIHR since 2015. In addition, ODIHR observes that Belarus would benefit from raising awareness about and building the capacity of criminal justice officials to address hate crime.
ODIHR recalls that in Ministerial Council Decision 9/09, OSCE participating States committed to periodically report to ODIHR reliable information and statistics on hate crimes. Participating States also committed to introducing or further developing professional training and capacity-building activities for law enforcement, prosecution, and judicial officials dealing with hate crimes. ODIHR stands ready to support Belarus in meeting the relevant commitments through the provision of comprehensive resources and tailored assistance in the area of hate crime recording and data collection, as well as providing further resources and tailored capacity-building assistance for police, prosecution, and judiciary.
