About 2023 Data

    In 2022, police recorded 116 cases that may be related to a discriminatory bias; however, deficiencies in the hate crime recording system mean that this number may not be accurate. This number may also include offences that fall outside the OSCE's definition of hate crime.

    A further 58 cases of hate speech recorded by the police and 47 cases of hate speech handled by the judicial police have been reported but not included in the table above as they fall outside the OSCE's hate crime definition.

National developments

The Ministry of Justice co-operated with the non-profit organization 'respect.lu' to set up a programme allowing perpetrators of hate speech to participate in the "Dialogue instead of hate" programme. The outcome of a perpetrator's participation in the programme may inform the State Prosecutor's decision on initiating criminal proceedings. 

KEY OBSERVATION

ODIHR recognizes Luxembourg's efforts to report hate crimes to ODIHR. However, based on the available information, it observes that the law enforcement agencies of Luxembourg have not recorded the bias motivations of hate crimes, while prosecutors and courts do not record hate crime. ODIHR also observes that Luxembourg's hate crime recording and statistics do not sufficiently distinguish hate crimes from other crimes. ODIHR further observes that Luxembourg would benefit from raising awareness among and building the capacity of criminal justice officials to address hate crime.

ODIHR recalls that in Ministerial Council Decision 9/09, OSCE participating States agreed to a definition of hate crime shared by all OSCE participating States, and committed to collecting reliable data and statistics on hate crimes. Participating States also committed to promptly investigating hate crimes and ensuring that the motives of those convicted of such crimes are acknowledged. To that end, the law enforcement must, as a first step, record the bias motivation of hate crimes. Participating States have further committed to introducing or further developing professional training and capacity-building activities for law enforcement, prosecution and judicial officials dealing with hate crimes.

ODIHR stands ready to support Luxembourg in meeting the relevant commitments through its comprehensive resources and tailored assistance in the area of hate crime recording and data collection, as well as through its comprehensive resources and tailored capacity-building assistance for the police, prosecution, and judiciary.
