Racist and xenophobic hate crime
In observations published following a visit to Georgia, the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe recommended that bias motive be consistently taken into account as an aggravating circumstance and that hate crimes receive punishment commensurate with the gravity of the offence.
