Minorities in the criminal justice system 2015, para. 22
- Paragraph text
- The exercise of police powers on the basis of such racial or ethnic profiling has been held to violate international human rights law. Increased general surveillance of members of a particular religious faith, solely on the basis that some believers have engaged in terrorist or other crimes, would raise similar concerns.

Hate speech and incitement to hatred against minorities in the media 2015, para. 103
- Paragraph text
- Traditional and contemporary media have enormous potential to foster knowledge, understanding and acceptance of diversity. Media can also be misused as a forum for stigmatization, discrimination, exclusion and, in the worst cases, incitement of violence. Contemporary media, particularly new digital media, due to its immediacy, universal scope, accessibility, interactive nature and the difficulty of regulating it, have become accessible platforms for spreading hate speech.

Hate speech and incitement to hatred against minorities in the media 2015, para. 58
- Paragraph text
- A six-part test has been developed by the NGO Article 19 to determine the appropriate threshold for assessing the types of expressions constituting "incitement to hatred": (1) context of the expression, including consideration of existing conflicts within society, existence and history of institutionalized discrimination, history of clashes and conflicts over resources, the legal framework and the media landscape. In relation to media, issues to be examined include censorship, existence of barriers to establishing media outlets, limits to the independence of the media or journalists, broad and unclear restrictions on the content to publish or broadcast and evidence of bias in the application of the restrictions, absence of criticism of government or wide-ranging policy debate in the media and access by the audience to a range of alternative and easily accessible views and speeches; (2) speaker, including consideration of his/her official position, level of authority or influence over the audience and whether the statement was made by a person in his/her official capacity. Politicians and public officials or persons of similar status should be given special consideration; (3) intent of the speaker to incite hatred, not mere recklessness or negligence; (4) content of the expression, including what was said, the targeted audience and the targeted potential victims, tone and form of the speech; (5) extent and magnitude of the expression, including the means of dissemination (press, audiovisual media, work of art, etc.); (6) likelihood of harm occurring, including its imminence.

Hate speech and incitement to hatred against minorities in the media 2015, para. 34
- Paragraph text
- The present thematic study provides an overview of the role of media in relation to hate speech and incitement to hatred and violence. It refers to the role of international standards and processes with regard to the prohibition of advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence, and will address the major challenges to combating hate speech in the media. Different measures and good practices that can be implemented by States and civil society actors will be analysed.

Hate speech and incitement to hatred against minorities in the media 2015, para. 30
- Paragraph text
- Hatred is often constructed, fuelled, maintained and directed by certain individuals or groups against other individuals and communities who are different, in ethnicity, language or religion from the dominant majority, often for political reasons or due to long-standing and entrenched discrimination. Hateful messages may fall on particularly fertile ground where there are wider social, economic or political problems or divisions in society. The root causes of hatred often lie beyond purely ethnic or religious difference.

The role of minority rights protection in promoting stability and conflict prevention 2011, para. 55
- Paragraph text
- To denigrate a community's identity as inferior or stereotype it as violent, criminal or "foreign" is discriminatory, a violation of rights and may constitute incitement to racial or religious hatred. It impacts negatively on community members' sense of inclusion in the national identity and encourages prejudicial attitudes and even violent attacks on the community by members of the public. The slope is steep and slippery between statements of disrespect coming from national leaders and hate crimes committed by individuals who feel they have been given license.

Minorities and discrimination based on caste and analogous systems of inherited status 2016, para. 50
- Paragraph text
- The Committee identified several factors that could indicate the existence of discrimination on the basis of caste and analogous systems of inherited status in affected communities, including "inability or restricted ability to alter inherited status; socially enforced restrictions on marriage outside the community; private and public segregation, including in housing and education, access to public spaces, places of worship and public sources of food and water; limitation of freedom to renounce inherited occupations or degrading or hazardous work; subjection to debt bondage; subjection to dehumanizing discourses referring to pollution or untouchability; and generalized lack of respect for their human dignity and equality". It also made specific recommendations, including in the areas of preventing hate speech in the media, administration of justice, political participation and the right to education.

Hate speech and incitement to hatred against minorities in the media 2015, para. 56
- Paragraph text
- Lack of clear definitions of the content and elements of the prohibition of advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to hatred, in legal systems, may lead to misapplication of the law, including the use of anti-hate speech legislation to persecute and suppress critical or dissenting voices. For example, so-called "blasphemy laws" may result in the censure of inter- and intra-religious dialogue, debate and criticism; many of those laws are also applied in a discriminatory manner, as they offer different levels of protection to different religious beliefs. As highlighted by the Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief, "the risk that legal provisions prohibiting hate speech are interpreted loosely and applied selectively by the authorities underlines the importance of having unambiguous language and of devising effective safeguards against abuses of the law".

Hate speech and incitement to hatred against minorities in the media 2015, para. 49
- Paragraph text
- The African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights does not contain provisions referring specifically to the prohibition of incitement to national, racial or religious hatred. However the Charter states that: "all peoples shall be equal; they shall enjoy the same respect and shall have the same rights. Nothing shall justify the domination of a people by another" (art. 19) and that "every individual shall have the duty to respect and consider his fellow beings without discrimination, and to maintain relations aimed at promoting, safeguarding and reinforcing mutual respect and tolerance" (art. 28). The American Convention on Human Rights states that: "any propaganda for war and any advocacy of national, racial, or religious hatred that constitute incitements to lawless violence or to any other similar action against any person or group of persons on any grounds including those of race, color, religion, language, or national origin shall be considered as offenses punishable by law" (art. 13.5).

Hate speech and incitement to hatred against minorities in the media 2015, para. 48
- Paragraph text
- The Rabat Plan of Action on the prohibition of advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence constitutes a comprehensive framework to assist States in implementing their obligations to combat incitement to hatred. It contains specific recommendations and guidance on balancing freedom of expression enshrined in article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, with the prohibitions in article 20, through a six-part threshold test for forms of speech that are prohibited under criminal law. Among the key factors put forward in the Plan to prevent incitement to hatred are the collective responsibility of States, media and society, and the need to foster social consciousness, tolerance, mutual respect, and intercultural dialogue.

Minorities in the criminal justice system 2015, para. 44
- Paragraph text
- It has been suggested that harsher sentencing can result from bias introduced by interpretation, because of cultural differences unintentional expression of the interpreter's preconceptions, or negative perceptions of the accused's or the witness's credibility by the court or jury due to interpretation. Caution must be exercised when using a non-certified translator or interpreter, and all interrogation and other records should specify the identity and status of any such person. If translation is a minimum requirement in all cases, it is clear that it does not necessarily provide the fullest possible guarantee of fairness.

Minority rights-based approaches to the protection and promotion of the rights of religious minorities 2013, para. 63
- Paragraph text
- Recognition and non-discriminatory registration may prove essential to the maintenance of religious identity. For example, teaching religion or belief requires the State to not criminalize or restrict the teaching or proselytizing of religion or belief and for any limitations to be strictly within the legal limitations outlined in article 18, paragraph 3 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Charitable activities, for example, require sufficient recognition to allow the group to legally gather and hold such events. Respect for the appointment and election of leaders requires non-interference on the part of the State and some recognition of the appointment or election system in terms of recognition of the relevant leader(s) or spokesperson(s) as a representative of that community.

Minority rights-based approaches to the protection and promotion of the rights of religious minorities 2013, para. 55
- Paragraph text
- All of the above might be forced upon them on the grounds that it is "respectful" of the laws of their religion, but may do so without asking them what their religion or belief is, how they interpret it and which legal system they ascribe to. Most worryingly, it may do so without giving them any opportunity for a civil alternative, any option for exit from such legal provisions and, indeed, no opportunity for adopting or changing their religion or belief. The State should not only be mindful of these vast arenas of discrimination, which may indeed have a coercive impact on the freedom to hold religion or belief, but needs to ensure that it fulfils its due diligence obligations with respect to all such violations. This includes obligations with respect to violations that may result from the actions of non-State actors, and violations that may primarily occur in the private sphere.

The role of minority rights protection in promoting stability and conflict prevention 2011, para. 34
- Paragraph text
- In the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action (A/CONF.189/12 and Corr.1, chap. I), the outcome document of the 2001 World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance, the participating States expressed their concern that socio-economic development was being hampered by widespread internal conflicts which were due, among other causes, to gross violations of human rights, including those arising from racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, and from lack of democratic, inclusive and participatory governance. It urged States to recognize that techniques, mechanisms, policies and programmes for reconciling conflicts based on factors related to race, colour, descent, language, religion, or national or ethnic origin and for developing harmonious multiracial and multicultural societies needed to be systematically considered and developed (ibid., paras. 21 and 171).
