France
France regularly reports hate crime data to ODIHR.
Since 2012, DILCRAH has served as an inter-ministerial body and platform for co-operation to address hate crime, including through research and financial support to civil society organizations (CSOs). DILCRAH along with several CSOs, is involved in training judges, prosecutors, police officers, and gendarmes.
The Central Office for Combating Crimes against Humanity and Hate Crimes (OCLCH) is an inter-agency body made up of police officers and gendarmes. It is responsible for leading and co-ordinating the fight against crimes against humanity and hate crimes. OCLCH supports local units, serves as the national contact point for both units and external entities, conducts investigations, provides expertise, and prepares threat assessments within its area of responsibility.
Hate crime data are regularly published by the National Institute for Human Rights. France regularly conducts surveys on hate crime victimization to monitor unreported hate crimes.
