It is important to know what a hate crime is. When a hate crime is committed, one or more perpetrators target the victim, which can be one or more people or property, because of a protected aspect of the victim's identity, such as religion or ethnicity, race, sexual orientation or disability. Similarly, a hate incident is an act of hostility motivated by prejudice or bias that does not necessarily reach the threshold of a criminal offence, or the criminal nature of which is yet to be determined. A hate crime is any crime where the perpetrator is driven by prejudice or bias. Criminal offence + bias motive = hate crime.

The article-by-article Commentary to the Housing Code of the Republic of Tajikistan No. 1852 of March 18, 2022, which has taken effect on September 1, 2022, clarifies legal and practical issues arising in the application of the housing legislation. The NGO “Huquqi Dastras” (“Accessible Right”) and independent experts on the right to adequate housing participated in the development of the commentary. The commentary was also based on the findings of the review on the implementation of the State Anti-Corruption Strategy in the Republic of Tajikistan for the period up to 2030 and the Action Plan for its implementation for the first phase (2021-2025) to improve legislation aimed at combating corruption in the field of housing and land legislation (hereinafter- monitoring report, 2022-2023). The findings of the monitoring report were taken into account in the preparation of the comments. The OSCE Programme Office in Dushanbe supported the drafting of the monitoring report (2022-2023) as well as the publication of the commentary (2024). These activities were a part of the OSCE's continued support to Tajikistan in promoting good governance and implementing the State Anti-Corruption Strategy in line with international standards. The publication is available in Tajik.

In 2022-2023, a civil society expert conducted an analysis of data collected on the implementation of the State Strategy for Combating Corruption in the Republic of Tajikistan for the period up to 2030 and the Action Plan for its implementation for the first phase (2021-2025) to improve the legislation on combating corruption in the sphere of housing and land legislation (hereinafter – monitoring report, 2022-2023). The analysis revealed that one of the factors that can lead to corruption in housing issues is the lack of a unified approach to judicial practice in cases related to housing legal relations. As a preventive mechanism, recommendations were made to improve the practice of enforcement of legislation by lower courts. A resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Republic was drafted to ensure correct and uniform application of the law by the courts, with participation of experts from the NGO “Huquqi dastras” (“Accessible Right”). The OSCE Programme Office in Dushanbe (POiD) supported the drafting of the monitoring report (2022-2023), the holding of two meetings of the Supreme Court working group on the draft resolution (2023), and the publication of the resolution (2024). These activities were part of the OSCE's continued support to Tajikistan in promoting good governance and implementing the State Anti-Corruption Strategy in accordance with international standards. In addition, as part of its human dimension activities, the POiD supported a gender analysis for the preparation of the draft resolution (2023). The resolution is available in Tajik and Russian.
