INTERNATIONAL LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR DEALING WITH HATE SPEECH
Journal Title: Medzinárodné vzťahy - Year 2017, Vol 15, Issue 4
Abstract
The extremely large usage of social networks has provoked wide spread of hate speech. One is not being able to make a difference whether it comes to hate speech, hate crime or other form of discrimination. Legislation in this area is not clear and social networks usually remain outside the laws and this creates further confusion for the institutions. In fact, in many countries the hate speech is not penalized. Therefore, we need to find other mechanisms to prevent and reduce the occurance of hate speech to the lowest possible level. All forms of media, whether online or offline, can play crucial role both in disseminating and combating hate speech. The aim of this paper is to show that the current system is insufficient and to introduce hate speech prevention means, other than legal, because hate spech is not penalized with the criminal law and it is violating the feelings and dignity of people.
