Бельгия
Бельгия регулярно предоставляет БДИПЧ данные о преступлениях на почве ненависти. Недавние инициативы по улучшению распознавания, регистрации и сбора данных о преступлениях на почве ненависти были реализованы в рамках Программы содействия надлежащемy учету преступлений на почве ненависти и борьбе с ними (ИНФАКТ). В частности, Бельгия выполнила рекомендации программы по оперативной практике полиции, прокуратуры и органов по вопросам равенства.
В Бельгии регулярно проводятся виктимологические опросы и исследования. Государственная служба «Safe.brussels», ответственная за предотвращение преступлений и обеспечение безопасности в Брюссельском столичном регионе, каждые два года проводит опросы среди широкой общественности о восприятии безопасности и опыте виктимизации.

INTERNATIONAL REPORTS
Racist and xenophobic hate crime
In the case of Cakir v. Belgium, involving a Belgian citizen of Turkish origin who brought criminal proceedings against the police for physical and racist verbal abuse by police officers during his arrest and detention, the European Court of Human Rights found that the Belgian authorities had failed to take all reasonable measures to determine whether the police officers had engaged in criminal conduct and whether the alleged criminal conduct had a racist motivation. This case reaffirms states’ duties under the European Convention of Human Rights to actively investigate and prosecute potentially racist crimes when there is a reasonable appearance of bias motivation.
Anti-Semitic hate crime, Anti-Muslim hate crime
The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) raised concerns over anti-Semitism and intolerance and discrimination against Muslims in Belgium.
