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.

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.
Hate crime recorded by police
KEY OBSERVATION
ODIHR observes that Belgium has not reported on hate crimes separately from cases of hate speech and/or discrimination.
INCIDENTS REPORTED BY CIVIL SOCIETY
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.
