Хорватия
Хорватия регулярно предоставляет БДИПЧ данные о преступлениях на почве ненависти.
С 2006 года в Хорватии проводилась программа БДИПЧ по работе с правоохранительными органами (LEOP), за которой последовала обновленная программа «Обучение сотрудников правоохранительных органов мерам борьбы с преступлениями на почве ненависти» (ОБПН).
В 2021 году правительство приняло межведомственный "Протокол о мониторинге преступлений на почве ненависти", устанавливающий обязанности государственных органов в борьбе с преступлениями на почве ненависти и пересматривающий обязанности специальной Рабочей группы по мониторингу преступлений на почве ненависти. В 2021 году Рабочая группа приняла участие в диагностическом семинаре БДИПЧ по оценке национальных структур и сервисов поддержки жертв преступлений на почве ненависти, по итогам которого БДИПЧ подготовило ряд рекомендаций для соответствующих государственных органов. Данные о преступлениях на почве ненависти регулярно публикуются Управлением по правам человека и правам национальных меньшинств при правительстве.

About 2024 Data
-
These data refer only to hate crimes under Article 87 paragraph 21 of the Criminal Code of Croatia (aggravating circumstance). Two cases of 'damage to the reputation of the Republic of Croatia', which fall outside the OSCE hate crime definition, were excluded from the police-recorded figure above, and one such case was excluded from as part of the prosecution data.
Hate crime recorded by police
KEY OBSERVATION
ODIHR recognizes Croatia's efforts to regularly report hate crime information and statistics to ODIHR. However, based on the available information, it observes that Croatia's hate crime recording and statistics do not sufficiently distinguish hate crimes from other crimes. In addition, ODIHR observes that Croatia would benefit from raising awareness among and building the capacity of criminal justice officials to address hate crime.
ODIHR recalls that in Ministerial Council Decision 9/09, participating States agreed to a common hate crime definition and committed to collecting reliable data and statistics on hate crimes. To that end, throughout the recording and data collection process hate crimes must be distinguished from incitement to hatred offences and other crimes falling outside of the OSCE's hate crime definition. Participating States also committed to introducing or further developing professional training and capacity-building activities for law enforcement, prosecution, and judicial officials dealing with hate crimes.
ODIHR stands ready to support Croatia 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 by providing further resources and tailored capacity-building assistance for police, prosecution, and judiciary.
ОБЗОР ИНЦИДЕНТОВ, ПРЕДОСТАВЛЕННЫХ ГРАЖДАНСКИМ ОБЩЕСТВОМ
For 2024, ODIHR received reports of hate incidents in Croatia from the following civil society organizations:
Centre for Peace Studies (CMS)
Lesbian Organization Rijeka (LORI)
International Institute for Religious Freedom (IIRF)
The Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians in Europe (OIDAC)
In addition, the Holy See also submitted reports of incidents monitored in Croatia by its representatives.
To learn more about these organizations, visit the Contributors page.
All incidents submitted by the above organizations have been analysed by ODIHR. Those that were broadly considered to be hate crimes within the OSCE definition (criminal offence committed with a bias motive) are listed in the tables below according to the bias motivation category. Some incidents involved multiple biases and may be listed in multiple categories.
ODIHR’s insightsFor 2024, ODIHR received reports of 23 incidents that took place in Croatia in the following bias motivation categories: racist and xenophobic, anti-Christian, and anti-LGBTI. ODIHR observes that a significant number of racist and xenophobic incidents in Croatia involved physical assaults, often targeting migrants or national minorities, with repeated attacks against people of Asian, Russian, and Turkish backgrounds, and with a specific targeting of delivery workers. Many victims sustained severe injuries, including fractures, and required hospitalization. ODIHR also observed that all reported anti-Christian incidents were attacks against property, including arson, destruction of religious symbols, damage to church buildings and statues, and anti-Christian graffiti. Finally, ODIHR noted a number of anti-LGBTI threats online and at school, as well as physical assaults during protests and in public spaces. It should be noted that ODIHR did not receive any reporting on Croatia relating to anti-Semitic, anti-Muslim, anti-Roma, gender-based, other religion or belief, or disability hate incidents. This indicates potential gaps in the information reported here. |
Please note that incidents reported here are based on voluntary civil society submissions and as such might not reflect the actual number of incidents or the most targeted communities in Croatia.
To address under-reporting, ODIHR encourages any civil society organizations or groups that monitor hate incidents in Croatia to report these to ODIHR at hatecrimereport@odihr.pl.
