Explanation to the total figures recorded
Figures consist of hate crimes committed in public, of crimes of incitement to hatred and crimes involving discrimination. As such, many of incidents listed here fall outside the scope of the OSCE definition of a hate crime. A breakdown of sentencing judgments by bias motivation was reported to ODIHR.
ODIHR Recommendations
ODIHR observes that Switzerland has not reported on hate crimes separately from cases of hate speech and/or discrimination.
