Xenophobia in Greece

A Multifaced Hatred

Xenophobia in Greece

Abstract

“The results of the OSINT research align with the GNCHR’s findings from monitoring and reporting activities and with the RVRN’s and its members recording incidents of racist violence in Greece in recent years. The results show the racist motivation for hate speech and hate crimes against migrants and refugees. As identified by the research using social media, websites and blogs, incidents of verbal or even physical violence infused with racist motives against third-country nationals take place regularly. Recent incidents do not reflect actions of coordinated violence against refugees and migrants from far-right groups. At the same time, the trend that is observed depicts intense racist rhetoric as well as institutional targeting against refugees and migrants.”

Greek National Commission for Human Rights (GNCHR)

The GNCHR plays an important and constructive role in the effective implementation of human rights protection, constantly monitoring developments related to the human rights situation in Greece and abroad and the implementation of human rights law, providing ongoing advisory to the competent bodies of the State.
Its advisory role, however, is not limited to submitting opinions, recommendations, proposals or reports and participating in Parliamentary sessions but also extends to assisting the reports submitted by national competent authorities for their compliance with international, regional and / or and European human rights standards (reporting) as well as encouraging the ratification of international human rights treaties.
