Abstract

Xenophobia and hate crimes are topics that have been thoroughly examined in numerous
articles. These phenomena have been defined differently based on the context and
situation in which they were analyzed. However, this article will focus on the connection
between these phenomena and their impact on human rights. Xenophobia and hate crime
are closely related issues that involve prejudiced attitudes, discrimination, and bias
against individuals or groups based on their protected characteristics. When xenophobia
manifests, it can lead to hate crimes, ethnic profiling, various human rights challenges
and violations, discrimination, and exclusionary practices. Xenophobia and hate crimes
trigger many human rights, such as the right to freedom of movement, the right to life
and security, the right to non-discrimination, the right to work and education, the right
to freedom of expression and opinion, the right to cultural identity, the right to privacy,
the right to social services, etc. They could potentially develop revolt and hatred for
everything foreign and unknown. They can be aimed at someone's faith, habits,
anthropological or facial features, and can be followed by hostile behavior with a series of gestures, usually expressed through hate speech, hate crime, refusing foreigners to
socially integrate into the new society, sharing xenophobic content in the media, etc.
