Factsheet
ODIHR’s Efforts to Counter Hate Crime
A factsheet outlining ODIHR's initiatives in the fight against hate crime.
As the OSCE institution focusing on the "human dimension" of security, ODIHR's support for efforts to fight intolerance and foster a climate of peace lies at the core of its mission. Accordingly, the OSCE has given ODIHR the task of assisting OSCE participating States in the struggle against hate crime.
ODIHR's mandate comprises:
- Helping participating States to design and draft legislation that effectively addresses hate crimes;
- Building the capacities of justice systems in participating States and of the law-enforcement officials, prosecutors and judges that staff them;
- Raising awareness of hate crime among governmental officials, civil society and international organizations; and
- Supporting efforts by civil society to monitor and report hate crimes.
