Figures on prosecuted and sentenced cases include physical assaults.
The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) published relevant recommendations in its "European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) ‒ Final report on Andorra adopted on 2 July 2024 by ECRI at its 95th plenary meeting (2-5 July 2024)".
ODIHR recognizes Andorra's efforts to report its hate crime information and statistics to ODIHR. However, based on the available information, it observes that Andorra's hate crime recording and statistics do not sufficiently distinguish hate crimes from other crimes. In addition, ODIHR observes that Andorra would benefit from raising awareness among and building the capacity of law enforcement and criminal justice officials about hate crimes.
ODIHR recalls that in Ministerial Council Decision 9/09, OSCE participating States committed to promptly investigate hate crimes and ensure that the motives of those convicted of hate crimes are acknowledged. To that end, law enforcement must, as a first step, record the bias motivations of hate crimes. OSCE participating States have also committed to enact specific, tailored legislation to combat hate crime, providing for effective penalties that take into account the gravity of such crimes. ODIHR stands ready to support Andorra 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 through its comprehensive resources and tailored capacity-building assistance for police, prosecution, and the judiciary.
