Hate speech is a growing phenomenon across the world. As a manifestation of intolerance and hatred towards certain groups in society, hate speech is intertwined with hate crimes and discrimination, representing a threat to sustainable peace and social cohesion.
Because of the impact hate speech has on both on victims and societies at large, it is of utmost importance to address and counter it in a comprehensive way, at both individual and State level. Despite growing attention to hate speech, many still underestimate or do not fully grasp the consequences of it.
UNICRI’s Headquarters in Turin, Italy, will set the stage at 5 p.m. CET on Friday 9 July to honor the Class 2021 of the Master of Laws (LL.M) in Transnational Crime and Justice.
