PGA Marks International Day for Countering Hate Speech

New York, The Hague

The United Nations considers hate speech any kind of communication in speech, writing or behavior, that attacks or uses pejorative or discriminatory language with reference to a person or a group on the basis of who they are based on their religion, ethnicity, nationality, race, color, descent, gender or other identity factor. In July 2021, the United Nations passed a resolution disavowing it in any form and on any platform.

The world must not trample on freedom of speech and expression, but when that speech is weaponized to violate the rights of others, including inciting atrocity crimes and acts of terrorism, it must not be met with the deafening silence that implies apathy or acceptance. Even if hate speech is allowed under the law, when it does not rise to the level of incitement of violence prohibited by international law, its consequences cannot be underestimated.

PGA members speak out on this disturbing trend:
