Бельгия
Бельгия регулярно сообщает БДИПЧ данные о преступлениях на почве ненависти. Уголовный кодекс Бельгии включает несколько положений об ужесточении наказания за конкретные правонарушения. Представленные в БДИПЧ данные не содержат разделения на случаи преступлений на почве ненависти, разжигания ненависти и дискриминации. Данные о преступлениях на почве ненависти собирают правоохранительные органы и прокуратура. Межфедеральный центр по вопросам равных возможностей и борьбы с расизмом (Unia) и Институт по вопросам равенства женщин и мужчин также отслеживают преступления на почве ненависти.

About 2014 Data
-
Numbers reported here include – besides hate crimes – also other types of "discrimination" incidents, which can fall outside of the OSCE's definition of a hate crime. Incidents, where the suspect is a minor, are not included in the statistics.
Incidents reported by civil society, international organizations and the Holy See
INTERNATIONAL REPORTS
Racist and xenophobic hate crime
The UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) recommended strengthening existing training programmes for police officers and judges in Belgium. It also noted concerns with racially motivated violence committed by police officers. CERD recommends that Belgium strengthen its mechanisms for reporting bias-motivated incidents committed by officials, notably ensuring that undocumented migrants have access to this mechanism without fearing reprisals, and that any allegations are properly investigated.
KEY OBSERVATION
ODIHR observes that Belgium has not reported on hate crimes separately from cases of hate speech and/or discrimination.
