Hate Speech that must be prohibited

Under international law, Countries are required to prohibit the most
severe forms of ‘hate speech’. The prohibitions are tailored to
preventing the exceptional and irreversible harms the speaker
intends and is able to incite.

Prohibition of incitement to other discriminatory violations of
international criminal law, such as the war crime of
persecution, is not required by either the Genocide Convention
or the Rome Statute, but should be considered within this
category.
