Tolerance and Non-discrimination
participating States that have demonstrated
interest in the programme. After the needs
assessment in Poland in 2006, the programme
will be adapted and translated into Polish, and
implemented in the course of 2007. In Serbia,
the ODIHR plans to continue its evaluation, followed by the adaptation of the programme to
the needs of Serbian law enforcement officers.
Following the training-of-trainers seminar in Paris, several OSCE participating States
expressed interest either in the assessment of
their law enforcement officers’ needs in raising awareness regarding various aspects of hate
crimes or in the full implementation of the
programme in their respective countries. The
ODIHR’s expert team will continue to maintain its informal information network for police
officers and will provide training and assistance
accordingly.
6. Freedom of religion or belief
In addition to continuing to provide expert
opinions and assistance to governments and
civil society, the Advisory Panel of Experts on
Freedom of Religion or Belief will also develop
guidelines on teaching about religion in state
schools in the OSCE region. The guidelines will
offer practical guidance for preparing curricula
for teaching about religion, preferred procedures for assuring fairness in the structuring of
curricula, and standards for the implementation
of such procedures. The guidelines will be finalized by the end of 2007.
7. Developing the Tolerance and NonDiscrimination Information System to support
particular user groups
To support the Law Enforcement Officer Programme on Combating Hate Crime, special
sections of the website will be developed with
information of particular relevance for prosecutors and investigating magistrates, and for hate
crime data experts.
The website will also be made available in
Russian in 2007.
