Despite making repeated pledges to end hate crime and discrimination, many governments have yet to introduce the necessary legislative tools, carry out official monitoring of incidents or implement police training, educational, and community engagement programs that would contribute to a more robust response to these human rights violations. For this reason, civil society, as a key partner in the efforts to address discrimination and intolerance, can play an important role to fill these gaps by pointing out the needed areas of improvement in government responses.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>&#8211; from ODIHR&#8217;s invitation to the
