Hate crime recorded by police
KEY OBSERVATION
ODIHR observes that Slovenia has not reported data on hate crime to ODIHR since 2020. In addition, Slovenia would benefit from reviewing its existing legal framework to ensure that bias motivations can be effectively acknowledged and appropriate penalties can be imposed on perpetrators.
ODIHR recalls that in Ministerial Council Decision 9/09, OSCE participating States committed to periodically reporting to ODIHR reliable information and statistics on hate crimes. To that end, law enforcement agencies must first record the bias motivations behind hate crimes. Participating States also committed to enacting specific, tailored legislation to combat hate crimes, providing for effective penalties that take into account the gravity of such crimes. ODIHR stands ready to support Slovenia in meeting its relevant commitments through the provision of comprehensive resources and tailored assistance in the area of hate crime recording and data collection, as well as by providing further resources and tailored legislative advice.
