Hate crimes in the OSCE region--incidents and responses
Subtitle: annual report for 2007
Published: 2008
Language: eng
Subjects: Hate crimes
Description: "In 2007, violent manifestations of intolerance continued to take place across the OSCE  region. Such acts, although targeting individuals, affected entire communities and  instilled fear among victims and members of their communities. The destabilizing effect  of hate crimes and the potential for such crimes and incidents to threaten the security of  individuals and societal cohesion--by giving rise to wider-scale conflict and violence--was acknowledged in the decision on tolerance and non-discrimination adopted by the  OSCE Ministerial Council in Madrid in November 2007."
