Monaco
Hate Crimes (in progress)
The following overview of hate crimes legislation is based on information submitted directly to the ODIHR by Monaco during the course of 2004-2005. While, in some instances, the wording of the legislation may appear unclear, it has not been changed from its original form.
On the basis of this structure, ODIHR enourages pS to submit relevant information to fill in any gaps.
Legislation is constantly updated, and therefore the provisions cited are subject to change. The term racist is illustrative and does not exclude other bias types. The use of "Article", "Section", or § refers to parts of the respective Criminal Code.
