Германия

Германия регулярно предоставляет БДИПЧ данные о преступлениях на почве ненависти. На уровне федеральных земель налажено тесное сотрудничество с гражданским обществом в области поддержки жертв преступлений на почве ненависти, а именно с организацией гражданского общества Weisser Ring и рядом других специализированных организаций гражданского общества. Федеральное министерство юстиции и Федеральный уполномоченный по делам жертв находятся в постоянном контакте с рядом учреждений по поддержке жертв и представителями жертв. В Германии проводятся виктимологические исследования для определения количества незарегистрированных преступлений на почве ненависти. С последним отчетом, охватывающим период с 2012 по 2017 год, можно ознакомиться здесь.

В 2021 году БДИПЧ совместно с федеральными министерствами организовало виртуальный ознакомительный визит в Германию, направленный на укрепление сотрудничества между правительством и гражданским обществом в области поддержки жертв преступлений на почве ненависти.

Правительство Германии финансирует несколько организаций и проектов, занимающихся мониторингом инцидентов на почве ненависти и оказанием помощи жертвам таких преступлений. В их числе поддерживается Сеть экспертов по борьбе с антисемитизмом (KOMPAS), которая объединяет пять опытных организаций гражданского общества, регистрирующих антисемитские инциденты и разрабатывающих меры по предотвращению антисемитизма. Кроме того, правительство финансирует Сеть экспертов по вопросам распространения ненависти в интернете, которая консультирует жертв языка вражды, укрепляет связи среди организаций гражданского общества и разрабатывает образовательные материалы для повышения уровня медийной грамотности.
