Расистские и ксенофобские преступления на почве ненависти
Расизм - это предубеждение или враждебность по отношению к расе, цвету кожи, языку, национальности, национальному или этническому происхождению человека. И хотя некоторые общины особенно уязвимы, объектом расизма может стать любая этническая группа. Нетолерантный дискурс в средствах массовой информации или со стороны политиков может привести к усилению расистских настроений по отношению к мигрантам и другим меньшинствам, включая навешивание на них ответственности в периоды экономического кризиса. Ежегодный отчет БДИПЧ о преступлениях на почве ненависти в регионе ОБСЕ продемонстрировал, что расистские нападения могут принимать самые разные формы, будучи направленными против людей из различных групп по всему региону. Общими чертами для этого типа преступлений являются нападения групп правонарушителей на мигрантов и представителей этнических меньшинств, а также нанесение ущерба бизнесу и собственности, принадлежащим или связанным с устоявшимися этническими сообществами.
