Abstract

Abstract The paper reflects on academic literature on the international normative and institutional framework related to hate crimes. Various theoretical and pragmatic issues have been discussed by academic authors, such as the challenges coming with the obligation of states to record hate crimes or to conduct efficient investigation, the limits of the potential impact of international review mechanisms, or the aims and content of resolutions adopted by international institutions and judgments delivered by the European Court of Human Rights. However, a wide range of practical and conceptual issues related to the existing international standards and the efficiency of international review mechanisms remain to be discussed in the academic sphere.

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Hungarian Journal of Legal Studies 61 (2020) 3, 285–295 action in the international organizations operating in the region. The European Parliament launched research on the phenomenon and made policy proposals; the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance issued recommendations and the drafting process of regulations on hate speech and hate crime within the framework of the EU, the Council of Europe and the OSCE was initiated by the 2000s. A growing number of applications have been submitted to the European Court of Human Rights in the last two decades that resulted in the elaboration of the standards by the Court related to efficient prosecution of hate crimes under the application of Article 14 of the European Convention. Academic literature has slowly followed the practice of international organizations in the area and has not covered numerous open questions related to the methods of the enforcement of relevant international legal norms or the impact of the projects run by international organizations
