This report sets out the trends and practices across regional and international institutions in relation to their approach towards and handling of hate speech. To do so, it relies on the database of the Global Freedom of Expression initiative at Columbia University and the database of the Future of Free Speech Project (Justitia). It aims at constituting a guide for human rights defenders, scholars, lawyers and civil society organizations as well as members of the judiciary, the legislature and policy makers by setting out international, regional and some national standards and case-law on “hate speech”.
