About 2021 Data

    The authorities monitored and reported 108 "offences with a hostility background", which includes criminal forms of intolerance other than hate crimes. While the numbers presented here only represent hate crimes according to the OSCE definition, the breakdown by bias motivation below is based on all reported offences. The reported number of prosecuted hate crimes represents the number of people charged. The sentencing figure represents the number of people convicted, some of whom may have committed more than one hate crime.

Hate crime recorded by police

The breakdown below includes offences recorded as committed with the following bias motivations: racist and xenophobic hate crime; anti-Roma hate crime; anti-Semitic hate crime; anti-Roma hate crime; anti-Muslim hate crime; anti-LGBTI hate crime; and "other hate crime", which includes incidents targeting human rights defenders, some of whom may work with marginalized groups. The numbers may include incidents that fall outside of the OSCE's hate crime definition.

KEY OBSERVATION

ODIHR recognizes the Czech Republic's efforts to build prosecutors' capacities in addressing hate crimes. However, based on the available information, it observes that the country's mechanisms for recording hate crime data and statistics do not sufficiently distinguish hate crimes from other crimes. In addition, ODIHR observes that the Czech Republic would benefit from raising awareness among and building the capacity of police to respond to hate crimes. 

ODIHR recalls that in Ministerial Council Decision 9/09, OSCE participating States agreed to a common hate crime definition and also committed to collecting reliable data and statistics on hate crimes. To that end, hate crimes need to be distinguished throughout the recording and data collection process from crimes of incitement to hatred and other hate speech. Participating States have 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 the Czech Republic in meeting its relevant commitments through the provision of comprehensive resources and tailored assistance in the area of hate crime recording and data collection, as well as further resources and tailored capacity building assistance for police.
