Countering and addressing online hate speech: a guide for policy makers and practitioners Year of publication: 2023 Corporate author: UN. Office on Genocide Prevention and the Responsibility to Protect Online hate speech remains a critical challenge to advancing the objectives set out in the UN Strategy and Plan of Action on Hate Speech and the pillars of the United Nations work, namely Peace and Security, Human Rights and Sustainable Development. The recommendations outlined in this policy paper, provide a framework for countering hate speech, in line with international human rights norms and standards. The recommendations are based on three years of consultations and dialogue, including with the technology and social media companies, experts, the UN Working Group on Hate Speech and civil society. Their implementation should be part of broader efforts to address hate speech globally, including its root causes and impact offline, in line with the UN Strategy and Plan of Action. The pursuit of these recommendations should also prioritize participation and engagement directly with the victims of hate speech, underpinned by the principles of non-discrimination and leaving no one behind.
United Nations Global Principles for Information Integrity : Recommendations for Multi-stakeholder Action Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: United Nations (UN) Technological advances have revolutionized communications, connecting people on a previously unthinkable scale. They have supported communities in times of crisis, elevated marginalized voices and helped mobilize global movements for racial justice and gender equality. Yet these same advances have enabled the spread of misinformation, disinformation and hate speech at an unprecedented volume, velocity and virality, risking the integrity of the information ecosystem. New and escalating risks stemming from leaps in AI technologies have made strengthening information integrity one of the urgent tasks of our time. This clear and present global threat demands coordinated international action. The United Nations Global Principles for Information Integrity show us another future is possible.
Principes mondiaux des Nations Unies pour l’intégrité de l’information: Recommandations pour une action multipartite Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: United Nations (UN) Les avancées technologiques ont révolutionné les communications, connectant les personnes à une échelle autrefois inimaginable. Elles ont soutenu les communautés en temps de crise, amplifié les voix marginalisées et contribué à la mobilisation mondiale pour la justice raciale et l’égalité des genres. Pourtant, ces mêmes avancées ont également favorisé la propagation de la désinformation, des informations fallacieuses (ou « fake news ») et des discours de haine à une vitesse, une ampleur et une viralité sans précédent, menaçant ainsi l’intégrité de l’écosystème informationnel. Les risques émergents et croissants liés aux progrès rapides de l’intelligence artificielle font du renforcement de l’intégrité de l’information l’un des défis les plus urgents de notre époque. Cette menace mondiale, claire et actuelle, exige une action internationale coordonnée. La publication Principes mondiaux des Nations Unies pour l’intégrité de l’information nous montrent qu’un autre avenir est possible.
