Hate speech and hate crime are an anathema to any society. On a United Nations level, the central tools to tackle such hatred are Article 20(2) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and Article 4 of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. On a Council of Europe level, the Additional Protocol to the Cybercrime Convention tackles racist and xenophobic material, threats and insults as well as revisionist rhetoric transmitted and disseminated through computer systems. On a European Union level, there is the Framework Decision on Racism and Xenophobia. In none of the above-mentioned instruments do we find provisions on homophobic and transphobic speech and crime, nor are there equivalents of documents such as the Framework Decision with the thematic of homophobia and transphobia. This creates a hierarchy of hate, with some forms of hate considered more important than others by the aforementioned institutions, a reality that goes against the very essence of international human rights law.

调节仇恨

仇恨言论和仇恨犯罪对任何社会都是一种诅咒。在联合国层面,解决这种仇恨的核心工具是《公民权利和政治权利国际公约》第 20 条第 2 款和《消除一切形式种族歧视国际公约》第 4 条。在欧洲委员会层面,《网络犯罪公约附加议定书》处理通过计算机系统传播和传播的种族主义和仇外材料、威胁和侮辱以及修正主义言论。在欧盟层面,有关于种族主义和仇外心理的框架决定。在上述文书中,我们都没有找到关于恐同和恐跨言论和犯罪的规定,也没有类似的文件,例如以恐同和恐跨为主题的框架决定。
