Hate crimes, including anti-Semitic acts, unreported in many OSCE states, report shows

Via European Jewish Press:

Hate crimes in the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) region continue to go unreported by participating states, a report by Human Rights First and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) shows.

The report, “Scorecard on Hate Crime Response in the OSCE Region” identifies a number of recommendations for participating countries, which include the United States.

It comes days before the OSCE meets in Vienna for a conference on the promotion of tolerance and nondiscrimination.
