Germany 2020 Human Rights Report
GERMANY 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Germany is a constitutional democracy. Citizens choose their representatives periodically in free and fair multiparty elections. The lower chamber of the federal parliament (Bundestag) elects the chancellor as head of the federal government. The second legislative chamber, the Federal Council (Bundesrat), represents the 16 states at the federal level and is composed of members of the state governments. The country’s 16 states exercise considerable autonomy, including over law enforcement and education. Observers considered the national elections for the Bundestag in 2017 to have been free and fair, as were state elections in 2018, 2019, and 2020. Responsibility for internal and border security is shared by the police forces of the 16 states, the Federal Criminal Police Office, and the federal police. The states’ police forces report to their respective interior ministries; the federal police forces report to the Federal Ministry of the Interior. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution and the state offices for the protection of the constitution are responsible for gathering intelligence on threats to domestic order and other security functions. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution reports to the Federal Ministry of the Interior, and the state offices for the same function report to their respective ministries of the interior. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over security forces. Members of the security forces committed few abuses. Significant human rights issues included: crimes involving violence motivated by anti-Semitism and crimes involving violence targeting members of ethnic or religious minority groups motivated by Islamophobia or other forms of right-wing extremism.

Germany to the Questionnaire from the Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion Or Belief to States on Antisemitism
Answer by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany to the Questionnaire from the Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief to States on antisemitism The Federal Government is deeply committed to combating antisemitism in all its forms. One of the Federal Governments’ measures recently taken in that regard, has been the creation of the office of the Federal Government Commissioner for Jewish Life in Germany and the Fight against Antisemitism in May 2018. The office is based at the Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building and Community. The Commissioner’s central tasks are to ensure that measures and activities aimed at fighting antisemitism are better coordinated both at federal and state level, and to provide support to a wide range of civil society actors. The majority of federal states have also appointed their own commissioners, whose role among other things is to reinforce the fight against antisemitism. As far back as 20 September 2017, the Federal Cabinet took note of an expanded version of the working definition of antisemitism adopted by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA). This meant the endorsement of the working definition of antisemitism, highlighting the Federal Government’s commitment to fighting antisemitism at national and international level. The Federal Government recommends taking the expanded working definition into account in full. Although the recommendation is not legally binding, the political message conveyed by the recommendation can prompt all users to consider the definition as a shared standard, so that this definition can indirectly influence action. 1. Judaism Within the State: The Right to Freedom of Religion or Belief Question 1a: Is Judaism recognized as a religion in law? If so, what is the definition of Judaism in law? What is its status compared with other religions? The freedom of religion or belief is enshrined in Article 4 of the German Basic Law (constitution).
