Incitement and Hate Speech - Part 2

In two segments of the MOOC created by Columbia Global Freedom of Expression, Agnès Callamard focuses on a legitimate restriction to freedom of expression, the so-called incitement speech. In this second segment, Dr. Agnes Callamard will first explain why it is a form of expression that is particularly egregious and dangerous as compared to other kinds of hate speech or extreme speech. Dr. Callamard will then highlight some of the key jurisprudence decisions related to incitement speech and to a lesser extent to some form of hate speech. And in conclusion, Dr. Callamard will extract from the jurisprudence some of the key element which are constitutive of incitement speech in order to ground the determination of whether or not we are dealing with incitement speech on firmer basis given the lack of precision and the contradiction of international provisions.
