The OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) released its Hate Crimes Report-Data for 2014 on 16 November 2015. Forty-three OSCE participating States submitted information to ODIHR. Of these, 17 provided detailed police statistics. OSCE also received information from 122 civil society groups about incidents in 46 countries. This information is supplemented by data submitted by seven OSCE field operations, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Hate Crimes are criminal acts motivated by bias or prejudice towards particular groups of people. To be considered a Hate Crime, the offence must meet two criteria. The first is that the act constitutes an offence under criminal law. Secondly, the act must have been motivated by bias.
