Ukraine

Ukraine regularly submits information on hate crimes to ODIHR. Ukraine's hate crime laws combine general and specific penalty enhancement provisions and contain a substantive offence. Hate crime data are collected by the General Prosecutor's Office, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the State Department on Sentence Execution and the State Statistics Committee.

How hate crime data is collected in Ukraine

How hate crime data is collected in Ukraine

Hate crime monitoring and data collection in Ukraine is carried out according to an instruction from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The recording protocol enables the recording of the victim's perception of bias motivation, including race, nationality, religion or belief.

There is a Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations, indicating the preliminary criminal law qualification of the offence in accordance with the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The Register is maintained by the General Prosecutor's Office of Ukraine and operates according to the appropriate regulation. The preliminary legal qualification of a crime may change depending on the evidence obtained during the investigation.

Hate crime data is collected by the Main Investigation Department of the National Police of Ukraine based on information in the protocols on committed or attempted crimes, as well as in the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations. The investigative departments of National Police Directorates for each region of the country have staff responsible for monitoring and identifying information about crimes that may indicate the presence of prejudice. This information is also sent to the Main Investigation Department of the National Police for compilation.

The police define hate crimes as committed on the grounds of racial, national or religious intolerance. In addition, records are kept of crimes committed on the grounds of prejudice against members of the LGBTI community and people with disabilities.

When collecting information on hate crimes, the National Police of Ukraine requests the information that it needs from other organizations and institutions, including the State Judicial Administration of Ukraine and the Office of the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights. Statistical information on hate crimes is published annually on the official website of the National Police.

The Prosecutor's Office does not generate data on hate crimes because there is no precise definition of hate crime in existing Ukrainian legislation. Information can only be filtered according to articles of the Criminal Code, which do not provide reliable information about hate crimes. Statistics on the judicial outcomes are provided by the State Judicial Administration of Ukraine. Statistical information is also based on separate articles of the Criminal Code but does not reveal information on bias motivation in sentenced cases.

Victimization surveys are not conducted in Ukraine.

About 2020 Data

    Reported figures include cases of violation of equality (Article 161 of the Criminal Code), which may have included violence but also acts that fall outside the OSCE hate crime definition.

National developments

In 2020, with the assistance of the Human Rights Commissioner of the Ukrainian Parliament (Verkhovna Rada), a working group was created to improve hate crime recording procedure. The working group includes representatives of law enforcement and judicial authorities, as well as representatives of civil society public organizations. Proposal have been prepared to improve the procedure for recording hate crimes, but at the time of Ukraine’s contribution to ODIHR’s 2020 Hate Crime Report, these proposals had not been formally sent to the relevant government agencies.

In May 2021, the Cabinet of  Ministers introduced to the Parliament the “Draft Law on Amendments to the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses and the Criminal Code of Ukraine on Combating Discrimination”, developed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which provides an extended and open list of protected characteristics in the Criminal Code, under the general penalty enhancement provision (Article 67) and specific penalty enhancements provisions (Articles 115, 121, 122, 126, 127, 129, 130, 161) including, among others, race, skin colour, religious beliefs, sex, disability, ethnic origin, citizenship, sexual orientation, gender identity, and language.

INTERNATIONAL REPORTS

No information is available.

KEY OBSERVATION

ODIHR recognizes Ukraine's efforts to improve its hate crime recording mechanisms, including through collaboration with civil society. Continuing in such efforts is encouraged as, based on the available information, Ukraine’s hate crime recording and statistics do not sufficiently distinguish hate crimes from other crimes. In addition, ODIHR observes that Ukraine would benefit from raising the awareness and building the capacity of criminal justice officials in relation to hate crimes.

ODIHR recalls that in the Ministerial Council Decision 9/09, participating States have agreed to a definition of hate crime shared by all OSCE participating States. They have also committed to collecting reliable data and statistics on hate crimes. To that end, hate crimes need to be distinguished throughout the recording and data collection process from acts constituting incitement to hatred or acts of discrimination. In the same Ministerial Council Decision 9/09, participating States have 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 Ukraine 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 providing further resources and tailored capacity building assistance for police, prosecution, and judiciary.
