INTERNATIONAL REPORTS
KEY OBSERVATION
ODIHR recognizes Spain’s efforts in conducting the recent hate crime victimization survey. However, based on the available information, it observes that Spain would benefit from strengthening the inclusion of, collaboration with, and facilitating work of civil society working on hate crimes and with their victims.
ODIHR recalls that in the Ministerial Council Decisions 9/09 and 13/06, participating States have committed to a proactive and inclusive approach towards civil society, which plays a key role in addressing hate crimes comprehensively, specifically in reaching out to victims of hate crimes and whole victimized communities, as well as providing assistance to hate crime victims. ODIHR stands ready to support Spain in meeting its relevant commitments through the provision of comprehensive resources and assistance.
