Hate speech and incitement to hatred against minorities in the media 2015, para. 76 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | While digital media has provided new spaces for minority groups to participate in the public debate, the accessibility, rapidness and relative anonymity provided by the Internet also provide fertile ground for spreading hateful content. Hate speech on the Internet adopts many forms and is disseminated through different digital platforms - from highly organized hate groups which recruit, radicalize and instruct followers to attack targeted groups; the issuing of "hit lists" containing calls for violence against individuals; "cyberbullying", which targets primarily youth and often originates from racial, ethnic or religious bias; dissemination of propaganda, misinformation and hate spam; exchange of information and ideas via social media networks, discussion groups, listservs and communities of interest. | Special Rapporteur on minority issues | Special Procedures' report |

Minority rights-based approaches to the protection and promotion of the rights of religious minorities 2013, para. 78 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Consultation must not be restricted to religious or community leaders who may constitute a frequently male and older profile, but should wherever possible include women, youth and others. Detailed knowledge of religious and belief minorities and consultation with them is required to facilitate their engagement in public life. Understanding the worldviews of religious minorities, their motivations and communitarian ideals, facilitates their inclusion in leadership positions, the media, the rank of the State's educationalists and role models, political and other public figures, lawyers, human rights defenders and armed forces. | Special Rapporteur on minority issues | Special Procedures' report |

The role of minority rights protection in promoting stability and conflict prevention 2011, para. 46 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Many States are engaged in ongoing efforts to accommodate the interests of diverse communities. It is critical that the process be guided by the principles of equal treatment and non-discrimination. Communities that may be more populous, that have greater disruptive capacities or military strength or that may be more successful in commerce may emerge at an early stage as the principle contenders for distribution of political power and State resources. However, under such conditions, minority rights must be prioritized, enabling members of all minority groups to participate effectively in decisions affecting them and in all aspects of society. Efforts must be made to give voice to the diversity of members within minority communities, including women, youth and the elderly. | Special Rapporteur on minority issues | Special Procedures' report |
