cal parties where evidence demonstrates that they advocate for and are involved directly or indirectly in acts of racist violence, must be banned and excluded from all state subsidies which are usually provided to political parties. We underline here draft recommendation 21 that all States including Greece should protect members of minorities against hatred on any grounds, hostility or violence against minorities. This should be reinforced with awareness raising activities and human rights training. We urge Government of Greece to work closely with OSCE/ODIHR in fight against hate crime and hate speech and invite ODIHR to implement the TAHCLE program for police officials as part of its commitment to fight and hate-motivated crimes in Greece. We intend to recall draft recommendation 42 that training, monitoring and oversight mechanisms should be put in place to identify and punish unprofessional performance of law enforcement officials when dealing with religious minorities, in particular in cases of intentional exclusion or harassment and religious or ethnic profiling. 3
