Thank you, Mrs. President. Egypt is aware of the need to combat hate speech and the danger of creating stereotypes about followers of certain cultures or religions, both of which have been on the rise in many in countries around the world in a way that contradicts the values of democracy, equality and respect for others, as well as violates the norms of international human rights law. Perhaps the most serious feature of this phenomenon in recent times has been the emergence of political parties whose ideology centers around racism, anti-minority or anti-religion, threatening social peace within states and the stability of international relations. In international forums, Egypt seeks to support all initiatives aimed at combating intolerance and discrimination, including via the Internet, and within the framework of the Islamic Group, it submits a periodic resolution in this regard that addresses religious intolerance, stigma, and discrimination. At the national level, many initiatives and policies are being implemented to combat hate speech and spread the principles of tolerance, most notably: 1- The President of the Republic has been keen to attend the Coptic Orthodox Christmas Mass each year, and to broadcast His Excellency's participation in the media and make it available on social media, with His Excellency emphasizing on various occasions the importance of correcting religious discourse.
