A/HRC/59/63 Direito Internacional sem Fronteiras 68. Direito Internacional sem Fronteiras reported that there were 125 National Socialist black metal bands in Brazil, with many promoting neo-Nazi hate speech, and followers wearing Nazi symbols. In its submission, Direito Internacional sem Fronteiras also reported that online platforms such as X and the Meta group were deprioritizing content moderation under the guise of free speech. Furthermore, it reported rising racism in sports, and increased hate speech and hate crimes against national, ethnic, religious and/or linguistic minorities, especially during periods of political polarization. It reported that hate speech on social media had been a constant challenge in Brazil, with a notable increase in recent years, and that that increase was linked with the use of hate as a political tactic. 69. The submission provided information about recent measures that Brazil has taken to combat Nazism, racism and related intolerance, including police operations, legislative reforms, and monitoring initiatives. 70. In its submission, Direito Internacional sem Fronteiras asserts that global anti-racism efforts remain insufficiently integrated into sustainable development and poverty reduction, with racism persisting due to dehumanization. It warns that racism, xenophobia and intolerance have evolved, spread through social media, digital technologies and artificial intelligence. Guatemalan Presidential Commission for Peace and Human Rights 71. The Presidential Commission for Peace and Human Rights, referring to information from the country’s Ministry of the Interior, reported that in Guatemala, alarming trends of discrimination, intolerance and racist and xenophobic violence persisted, which were rooted in the historical exclusion of Indigenous Peoples and which manifested themselves in socioeconomic inequalities and physical and verbal violence. The dissemination of hate messages through social networks reportedly exacerbated these problems, while migratory flows generated xenophobic attitudes towards people of other nationalities, particularly Central American migrants, and there had been incidents of hate-motivated violence directed at minorities. Information was also provided about the definition of discrimination in the country’s Criminal Code and about measures taken by the National Civil Police to combat racial discrimination, including training activities and workshops.

They reported that neo-Nazi and extremist groups across Europe were continuing to promote hate speech and violence against Roma, and their marginalization, and that glorification of Nazism reinforced anti-Roma racism, delayed justice, and undermined recognition of and reparation for historical atrocities.

In their submission, the organizations reported a notable rise in the number of neo-Nazi groups and in the targeting of Roma communities in Bulgaria, Czechia, Germany, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia and other countries.
