About 2023 Data
-
The National Police only publishes data on cases of discrimination according § 283 Criminal Code. The numbers above therefore present cases that fall outside the OSCE's definition of hate crime.
Liechtenstein does not record the bias motivations of crime, and there are therefore no statistics on hate crime.
Hate crime recorded by police
KEY OBSERVATION
ODIHR recognizes Liechtenstein's efforts to report hate crime to ODIHR. However, based on the available information, it observes that Liechtenstein does not collect data and statistics on hate crimes. In addition, ODIHR observes that Liechtenstein would benefit from raising awareness among 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 collecting reliable data 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 Liechtenstein 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 through further resources and tailored capacity-building assistance for police, prosecution, and judiciary.
