OSCE publishes practical guide on anti-Roma hate crimes and the security needs of Roma and Sinti communities

The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe recently published a practical guide for understanding anti-Roma hate crimes and addressing the security needs of Roma and Sinti communities. The guide provides an overview of issues faced by Roma and Sinti communities, reviews relevant cases from a number of OSCE member states, and discusses measures for promoting safety and security while ensuring the principle of non-discrimination. It also includes an analysis of related security needs and recommendations to improve access of Roma and Sinti communities to their human rights.
