Slovenia - January 2023

Harsher sentencing for hate crimes

The National Assembly passed amendments to the criminal code, providing latitude for hate crimes to be sentenced more harshly, and strengthening Slovenia’s legal framework for protecting minority rights. The amendments allow the victims’ nationality, race, sex, religion, or disability to be considered when sentences are decided.
