Преступления на почве ненависти к рома
Государства-участники ОБСЕ признали опасность этнической ненависти в отношении рома и синти еще в 1990 году. Антиромская риторика, в том числе риторика о "цыганской преступности", может усугубляться средствами массовой информации и политическими деятелями. Расширение ЕС с одновременной маргинализацией рома побудило многих людей и семьи к миграции для поиска лучших условий и возможностей в других местах, часто сталкиваясь с негативным приемом в странах или регионах прибытия. В ежегодных отчетах БДИПЧ о преступлениях на почве ненависти содержится ряд преступлений на почве ненависти против рома. В этих отчетах фигурируют нападения, нанесение материального ущерба и убийства, в том числе с применением взрывчатых веществ, огнестрельного оружия или коктейлей Молотова. Среди инцидентов, о которых было сообщено БДИПЧ, вызывающих особую обеспокоенность, были поджоги домов рома или групповые нападения с применением насилия на целые общины или поселения.

International Reports
Венгрия
The Report by Githu Muigai, the UN Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, on his mission to Hungary, noted that Roma in Hungary are experiencing increased bias-motivated violence, including arson attacks against their houses, physical assaults and deaths, and recommended the government improve protective measures for the Roma community, to enact a national strategy to combat violence against Roma, to collect disaggregated data on hate crimes and to ensure such crimes are adequately investigated, prosecuted and appropriately sanctioned.
Италия
The UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) recommended that Italy provide training to local public authorities on racial discrimination, as a measure to address the lack of systemized training for law enforcement on obligations under the CERD treaty and the low number of prosecutions, despite the high number of hate crimes and violence. It also recommended that Italy take measures to prevent racist violence against Roma and Sinti people, and to ensure hate crimes against them are promptly investigated and prosecuted so that perpetrators do not enjoy de jure or de facto impunity.
The Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe recommended that Italy address potential inconsistent interpretation of aggravating circumstances provisions for bias-motivated crime through political leadership and awareness raising for all persons involved in the criminal justice system. He also expressed concerns about violence against Roma, noting that the bias motivation of these crimes is often downplayed by authorities, and encouraged better monitoring of hate crimes and ensuring bias motivation is part of the investigation and prosecution of such crimes.
Польша
The Human Rights Council, in its Universal Periodic Review, recommended that Poland strengthen measures to prevent racist violence, especially against Roma people.
Чешская Республика
During his country visit, the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe recommended that the Czech Republic continue developing its training on hate crime for all those involved in the criminal justice system. He noted that bias-motivated violence against Roma continues and that the authorities are making efforts to monitor extreme right-wing group activities and improving relationships with Roma communities, while also encouraging effective investigation and prosecution of hate crimes against Roma. He also encouraged authorities to extend the protection of hate crime provisions to ensure that bias motivation based on disability is included as an aggravating circumstance for sentencing.
In his report on the Czech Republic, the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe urged the authorities to effectively investigate hate speech and hate crimes against Roma and other minorities.
