Hate Speech and Refugees

The “Hate Speech and Refugees” project is conceived as a research contribution to the protection of refugees and migrants from hate speech. Its purpose is to examine the international legal framework and to show that hate speech against refugees and migrants should be sanctioned by law because it falls outside the scope of hate speech.
