Hate crimes undermine the safety of targeted individuals and groups, threaten democratic values, and challenge the principles of equality and human dignity. They arise from societal and individual prejudices, targeting people based on what they represent to the perpetrator. To effectively prevent and combat hate crimes, a complex and multifaceted approach is necessary. The Recommendation urges member States to adopt comprehensive strategies, protect victims, and empower them. It defines hate crimes clearly and emphasizes the need for national laws to include effective measures. The focus is on police and judiciary to identify and document the hate elements in crimes. Member States should implement awareness, education, and training programs and offer specialized support to victims, particularly children and young people. Additionally, guidance is provided for stakeholders like public officials, internet intermediaries, media, and civil society organizations to develop strategies against hate crimes.
