In recent years, the United Nations has remarked on a worldwide surge in hate speech and incitement, considering them ‘a menace to democratic values, social stability and peace.’ In addition, hate speech and incitement are regularly recognised as early warning signs of the mass violation of human rights, and the perpetration of international crimes.
This HILAC lecture, organised in collaboration with the University of Groningen and the IHCL Platform, critically discusses the opportunities and difficulties in identifying a holistic and integrated definition of hate speech and incitement in international law. For example, to what extent does the principle of legality, which is fundamental to international criminal law, limit reliance on human rights law and practice? How does one distinguish between propaganda, hate speech, and incitement in international humanitarian law? How do we surface gendered hate speech and gender-based incitement in international criminal judgments? The lecture, provided by Audrey Fino (University of Groningen), is followed by an expert panel discussion that brings together several diverse perspectives.
