Hate Speech Case Database

Scroll on the circles to zoom-in.
Drag to navigate the overview

This database includes a compilation of case law of the European Court of Human Rights on Hate Speech. It divides the cases thematically (ethnic hatred, violence, LGBT, religious hatred, totalitarianism, and genocide denial). It allows users to view cases by theme or countries. The database also includes relevant documents of the Council of Europe, the Parliamentary Assembly, and the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance. This tool was created within the framework of the ‘Future of Free Speech’ project for purposes of compiling material on hate speech at a Council of Europe level which is useful for, amongst others, practitioners, civil society, researchers, and policy makers.
