INTERNATIONAL REPORTS
Racist and xenophobic hate crime
In its concluding observation on periodic reports of the Russian Federation, the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) recommended that the Russian authorities concentrate their efforts on responding seriously to racist attacks carried out by ultra-nationalists, neo-Nazi groups and Cossack patrols. CERD also recommended that the authorities ensure adequate punishment for perpetrators of hate crimes and develop training courses for criminal justice agencies on hate crime identification, investigation and prosecution.
