Бельгия
Бельгия регулярно сообщает БДИПЧ данные о преступлениях на почве ненависти. Уголовный кодекс Бельгии включает несколько положений об ужесточении наказания за конкретные правонарушения. Представленные в БДИПЧ данные не содержат разделения на случаи преступлений на почве ненависти, разжигания ненависти и дискриминации. Данные о преступлениях на почве ненависти собирают правоохранительные органы и прокуратура. Межфедеральный центр по вопросам равных возможностей и борьбы с расизмом (Unia) и Институт по вопросам равенства женщин и мужчин также отслеживают преступления на почве ненависти.

INTERNATIONAL REPORTS
Racist and xenophobic hate crime
In the case of Cakir v. Belgium, involving a Belgian citizen of Turkish origin who brought criminal proceedings against the police for physical and racist verbal abuse by police officers during his arrest and detention, the European Court of Human Rights found that the Belgian authorities had failed to take all reasonable measures to determine whether the police officers had engaged in criminal conduct and whether the alleged criminal conduct had a racist motivation. This case reaffirms states’ duties under the European Convention of Human Rights to actively investigate and prosecute potentially racist crimes when there is a reasonable appearance of bias motivation.
Anti-Semitic hate crime, Anti-Muslim hate crime
The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) raised concerns over anti-Semitism and intolerance and discrimination against Muslims in Belgium.
