This database includes a compilation of hate speech jurisprudence of three Committees of the United Nations, namely the Committee on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, the Human Rights Committee and the Committee on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. It divides the cases thematically – violence, LGBTQ, ethnic hatred, religious hatred, ethnic and religious hatred (which include separate cases to the two previous themes), genocide denial and anti-Semitism. The database also includes documents relevant to hate speech issued by, amongst others, the CERD, HRC and the Special Rapporteur on Opinion and Expression. This tool was created within the framework of the ‘Future of Free Speech’ project for purposes of compiling material on hate speech at a United Nations level which is useful for practitioners, civil society, researchers, tech companies and policy makers.
