About

The main purpose of the European Regional Forum on “Hate Speech, Social Media and Minorities” is to provide European regional insights, which will feed into the thematic work of the Special Rapporteur on minority issues for his report to the 46th session of the UN Human Rights Council in March 2021. Furthermore, discussions at the Regional Forum will also inform the work and recommendations of the 13th Session of the UN Forum on Minority Issues, which will take place in Geneva, on 19 and 20 November 2020.

Andrey Rikhter, Senior Adviser of the Representative on Freedom of the Media, will speak at the session on legal and institutional frameworks. See more here: https://tom-lantos-institue.events.idloom.com/european-regional-forum-on-minority-issues-2020.
