Греция

Греция регулярно предоставляет БДИПЧ данные о преступлениях на почве ненависти.

В 2017 году Греция реализовала программу БДИПЧ «Обучение сотрудников прокуратуры мерам борьбы с преступлениями на почве ненависти» (ОПБПН). В июне 2018 года соответствующими государственными органами и сетью организаций гражданского общества было подписано "Соглашение о межведомственном сотрудничестве по борьбе с преступлениями на почве расизма", которое было реализовано в рамках проекта БДИПЧ "Разработка комплексного реагирования системы уголовного правосудия на преступления на почве ненависти". В результате соглашение привело к улучшению регистрации преступлений на почве ненависти и сбора данных. В феврале 2022 года БДИПЧ провело диагностический онлайн-семинар с участием представителей правительства, органов уголовного правосудия и организаций гражданского общества с целью оценки структур и служб поддержки жертв преступлений на почве ненависти в Греции.

В 2022 году отделу Министерства юстиции было поручено следить за систематическим сбором статистических данных о преступлениях на почве ненависти.

National developments

Greece amended its legislation by adding gender identity to the list of protected grounds in Criminal Code’s aggravating circumstance provision. The amendment also forbids the suspension of the sentence in cases where bias motivation has been established as an aggravating circumstance.

Ministry of Justice, Transparency and Human Rights has requested ODIHR to assist in developing the capacity of the criminal justice system. Workshops on prosecuting hate crimes will take place at the National School for Judges in Thessaloniki in 2014. Implementation of ODIHR’s PAHCT programme is being considered.

KEY OBSERVATION

ODIHR observes that the law enforcement agencies of Greece have not recorded the bias motivations of hate crimes.

INTERNATIONAL REPORTS

Racist and xenophobic hate crime

The three Personal Representatives of the OSCE Chairperson‑in‑Office on tolerance and non‑discrimination made a joint visit to Greece. Following the visit, the Personal Representatives presented their recommendations for the country, which included police training on hate crimes.

The Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe recommended that the country use criminal sanctions against individuals, and restrict the activities of organizations, that incite intolerance or that are implicated in hate crimes. The Commissioner further recommended the continuous provision of anti-racism training for the police, coast guard, prosecutors and judges.

The thematic situation report on “Racism, Discrimination, Intolerance and Extremism: Learning from Experiences in Greece and Hungary”, published by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA), collected and analysed information from both countries, and presented EU Member States with a number of suggested good practices in combating racism, discrimination, intolerance and extremism.
