The NHRC issued the advisory as part of activities to mark the 2nd International Day for Countering Hate Speech, which is officially observed on 18 June.
The National Human Rights Commission on Tuesday issued an advisory on the role of the media in countering and reporting hate speech.
This, he said, is in recognition of the constitutional roles of the media in shaping national values and advancing political, social, economic and cultural objectives. ”Hate speeches promote discrimination, divisions, and incite violence, all of which violate the right to dignity, right to life and belonging to a society.
According to him, hate speech is a threat to national cohesion, peace, security and the attainment of sustainable development and the achievement of human rights.
