Кипр | HCRW

Кипр регулярно предоставляет БДИПЧ данные о преступлениях на почве ненависти с 2018 года. В феврале 2022 года полиция и Министерство внутренних дел Кипра в сотрудничестве с БДИПЧ и Агентством ЕС по основным правам организовали семинар по вопросам понимания и улучшения регистрации преступлений на почве ненависти и сбора данных. Семинар был основан на Программе БДИПЧ по содействию надлежащемy учету преступлений на почве ненависти и борьбе с ними (ИНФАКТ), и по его итогам был подготовлен ряд рекомендаций для соответствующих государственных органов.

Данные о преступлениях на почве ненависти за каждый год собираются кипрской полицией и ее Управлением по борьбе с дискриминацией и публикуются онлайн.

В 2017 году полиция Кипра подписала Меморандум о взаимопонимании в области защиты и продвижения прав человека с 14 организациями гражданского общества. Целью Меморандума является дальнейшее улучшение и укрепление сотрудничества между сторонами в области защиты и продвижения прав человека.

Hate crime recorded by police

National developments

A new law was enacted on 21 October 2011 expressly stating that racist motivation is an aggravating circumstance for any offence and is to be taken into account by the court at the time of sentencing.

A series of training courses on discrimination, racism and xenophobia were implemented at the Cyprus Police Academy at various levels (basic police training, courses for sergeants and inspectors). Law-enforcement authorities also translated and published leaflets and booklets on human rights, discrimination, racism and xenophobia, which were distributed to all police officers, as well as made available to the public.

INTERNATIONAL REPORTS

Racist and xenophobic hate crime

The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) recommended that Cyprus train prosecutors and judges in relation to hate crime and other forms of discrimination; ensure all acts of racist violence are thoroughly investigated for appropriate prosecution and punishment; and improve its hate crime data-collection system, noting that the recorded number of racially motivated incidents is low compared with reports of such incidents in the community.
