UN Says Governments Must Regulate “Hate Speech,” Claims This “Is Not an Attack on Free Speech”

(Before It's News)

“It is not an attack on free speech or the silencing of controversial ideas or criticism.”

It most certainly is. As I have pointed out many times, truth is the new hate speech. The enemies of freedom brand opposition to jihad “hate speech,” and now they’re working toward criminalizing it. They’re racing against time: as the jihad in Europe and the U.S. grows more aggressive, the truth of what I have said for years is becoming increasingly obvious. So they’re trying to clamp down hard and hang on to power, and keep on implementing their suicidal policies.

“United Nations: Regulating ‘Hate’ Speech ‘Not an Attack on Free Speech,’” by Penny Starr, Breitbart, March 21, 2017:

The United Nations marked the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination on Tuesday by telling governments around the world that regulating “hate speech” is part of the strategy needed to “stand up for someone’s rights.”

Governments around the world “have a legal obligation to stop hate speech and hate crimes,” UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein reportedly said Tuesday, adding a call “on people everywhere to ‘stand up for someone’s rights,’” the press release about the event said.

“It is not an attack on free speech or the silencing of controversial ideas or criticism, but a recognition that the right to freedom of expression carries with it special duties and responsibilities,” Al Hussein said in a statement.

“Words of fear and loathing can, and do, have real consequences,” Zeid said.

In his statement, Zeid said that U.N. member states “do not have any excuse to allow racism and xenophobia to fester.”

States “have the legal obligation to prohibit and eliminate racial discrimination, to guarantee the right of everyone, no matter their race, color, national or ethnic origin, to equality before the law.”

“At the Summit for Refugees and Migrants in September 2016, U.N. member states adopted a declaration strongly condemning acts and manifestations of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance,” the press release said. “The Summit also sparked the UN’s Together initiative to change negative perceptions and attitudes aimed at refugees and migrants.”

The press release said this year’s theme is “ending racial profiling and incitement to hatred, including as it relates to people’s attitudes and actions towards migration.”…

    Why the Muslims can use it and you can’t.

  • “Counter the climate of inter-ethnic prejudices and hate speech by stepping up
    efforts and initiatives to promote tolerance and intercultural dialogue; continue to firmly
    condemn provocative language in public discourse; engage with mass media outlets to
    promote a more nuanced understanding and reporting of facts that risk fuelling intolerant
    and ethnically hostile behaviour and reduce the use of derogatory language; and
    endeavour to establish an independent press regulator responding to the criteria
    enunciated by the Leveson Report;”

    The Advisory Committee regrets that certain media outlets continue stereotyping
    and counterproductive messaging on national and ethnic minorities (see Article 6). Although
    it acknowledges the delicate balance to be struck by the authorities between freedom of
    expression and hate speech, the Advisory Committee emphasises the relevance of
    enhancing ethical journalism without encroaching on media independence. To this purpose
    it is important that training is regularly carried out and that access to and presence in the
    media of persons belonging to minorities, including in supervisory organs of (public)
    broadcasters, is ensured.”

    And thats not just Muslims, its about Celts too, whom the Anglo media likes to blame and accuse at every opportunity.
