The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) published relevant recommendations in its "Concluding observations on the combined sixth and seventh periodic reports of the Russian Federation".
ODIHR observes that the Russian Federation has not reported data and information on hate crime to ODIHR. In the absence of an official submission and statistics, ODIHR is not able to provide further observations on hate crime data collection in the Russian Federation. In addition, ODIHR observes that the Russian Federation would benefit from raising awareness and building capacity of criminal justice officials about hate crimes.
ODIHR recalls that in Ministerial Council Decision 9/09, OSCE participating States committed to periodically reporting to ODIHR reliable information and statistics on hate crimes. Participating States also committed to introduce or further develop professional training and capacity-building activities for law-enforcement, prosecution and judicial officials dealing with hate crimes. ODIHR stands ready to support the Russian Federation 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 its comprehensive resources and tailored capacity building assistance for police, prosecution, and judiciary.
