Ends: Jun 18, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
Hate speech, amplified by new technologies of communication, has become a prevalent method for spreading divisive ideologies globally. Its unchecked spread can disrupt peace, development, and human rights. In response to increasing trends of xenophobia, racism, and intolerance worldwide, UN Secretary-General António Guterres launched the United Nations Strategy and Plan of Action on Hate Speech on 18 June 2019. This plan defines hate speech as any communication that attacks or uses derogatory or discriminatory language towards a person or group based on aspects of their identity such as religion, ethnicity, nationality, race, color, descent, gender or other identity factors.
There is, however, no universal definition of hate speech under international human rights law, and its concept is still being debated, especially concerning the freedom of opinion and expression, non-discrimination, and equality.
Education plays a critical role in preventing hate speech, especially in online environments. Digital literacy and global citizenship education are key in equipping individuals with the knowledge and skills to identify and counteract hate speech. The United Nations campaign #NoToHate provides information on how to address hate speech.
In July 2021, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution on promoting inter-religious and intercultural dialogue and tolerance in countering hate speech, calling for increased efforts to address this phenomenon. The resolution also proclaimed 18 June as the International Day for Countering Hate Speech, inviting governments, international organizations, civil society groups, and individuals to promote strategies for countering hate speech.
