Opening speeches of the UN Secretary-General António Guterres and Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide Adama Dieng at the Informal briefing by the Secretary-General on the UN Strategy and Plan of Action on Hate Speech. The Strategy and Plan of Action guides all United Nations entities, at Headquarters and in the field, to do their part to address hate speech. The Strategy and Plan of Action calls for stronger support to Member States as well as stronger engagement with private companies, civil society and media. It is consistent with and supports other key agendas of the United Nations, including the Sustainable Development Goals, the Sustaining Peace resolutions and the promotion and protection of human rights.
The Strategy provides ideas on how to address the root causes and drivers of hate speech and how to reduce its impact on societies.
