Tools to counter hate speech that undermines free electoral competition.
“Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include
freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas
without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers.”
(Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights)Freedom of expression
is enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights and protects citizens
from interference with their right to freely express their opinions. This
freedom is essential when it comes to the electoral process which, like any
competition, has a strict framework of rules. Freedom of expression must not
give rise to hate speech that would undermine the electoral process by
polluting the campaign and political debate necessary for voters to make an
informed choice.
This toolkit is intended to explain the international standards applicable in
this respect, provide tools and strategies that can be used by election
management bodies to counter hate speech harmful to free electoral competition
and describe the Georgian experience in this area.
