Countering and Addressing Online Hate Speech: A Guide for policy makers and practitioners (United Nations)

This document sets up the main recommendations identified through the three years of engagement and dialogue on this topic. It is anchored in the discussions from the round tables. It further builds on the experiences from UN field presences that are working to address these challenges at country level. The paper is the result of a cooperation between my Office and the ESRC Human Rights, Big Data and Technology Project at the University of Essex. I would like to especially thank Ahmed Shaheed, Deputy Director, Essex Human Rights, Big Data and Technology Project and former United Nations Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief for this partnership over the last several years and which has resulted in this policy paper.
