TOLERANCE AND NON-DISCRIMINATION  //  45 ACTIVITIES FORGING A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO ADDRESS HATE CRIME ODIHR has developed programmes to help state authorities and civil society actors identify, report, counter, investigate and prosecute hate crimes. ODIHR’s efforts to build state and civil society capacity to respond to hate crimes are complemented by the Office’s annual hate crime reporting activity, which provides statistics and details on hate crime across the OSCE region. In the course of the year, ODIHR produced a series of videos to raise awareness among participating States and civil society groups of the array of ODIHR initiatives to counter hate crime. These can be found at hatecrime.osce.org. Reporting on hate crimes and incidents across the OSCE region Every year, ODIHR publishes data on hate crimes and incidents that occurred across the OSCE region on its dedicated hate crime reporting website. This includes, when available, the official number of hate crimes that were recorded by police, but also details of hate incidents that are reported by civil society groups, international organizations and the Holy See. These incidents help give states a more complete understanding of hate crime in their countries. The 2016 data, published on 16 November 2017, featured contributions from 45 OSCE participating States. This included disaggregated official hate crime statistics for 20 countries and a detailed overview of how 35 participating States record and process hate crimes. This is complemented by information on hate incidents in 48 participating States,
