About 2022 Data

KEY OBSERVATION
ODIHR recognizes Georgia's efforts to provide criminal justice professionals with hate crime training. However, ODIHR observes that Georgia would benefit from strengthening the inclusion of, collaboration with, and facilitating the work of civil society working to combat hate crimes and support victims.
ODIHR recalls that in Ministerial Council Decisions 9/09 and 13/06, OSCE participating States committed to taking a proactive and inclusive approach to facilitating the contribution of civil society to combat hate crimes. ODIHR stands ready to support Georgia in meeting its relevant commitments through the provision of comprehensive resources and assistance.
