Румыния

Румыния регулярно предоставляет БДИПЧ данные о преступлениях на почве ненависти. Министерство администрации и внутренних дел, полиция, прокуратура и Высший совет магистратуры собирают данные о преступлениях на почве ненависти.

В 2016 году Румыния реализовала программу БДИПЧ "Обучение правоохранительных органов мерам борьбы с преступлениями на почве ненависти" (ОБПН). В 2021 году в румынской полиции было создано специализированное подразделение по преступлениям на почве ненависти.

Поправки к Уголовному кодексу, внесенные в 2023 году, уточняют составные элементы преступлений на почве ненависти и устанавливают защищаемые основания.

Hate crime recorded by police

National developments

A new criminal code entered into force in February 2014. The new code changed the list of protected characteristics in the general penalty-enhancement provision, making it an open-ended list.

A specialized bureau for protecting national cultural heritage was established within the General Inspectorate of the Romanian Police. The special bureau is tasked with handling all activities related to addressing any manifestations of racism, xenophobia, extremism and other forms of intolerance, including hate crimes.

KEY OBSERVATION

ODIHR observes that Romania’s law-enforcement agencies have not recorded the bias motivations of hate crimes.

INTERNATIONAL REPORTS

Racist and xenophobic hate crime, Anti-Roma hate crime

In his report following a country visit to Romania, the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe urged the authorities to properly record hate crimes and ensure that law enforcement officials and legal professionals are adequately and systematically trained to recognise, investigate and sanction crimes committed with a racist motive, which primarily affect Roma communities.
