We believe that synergies with bottom-up, grassroots approaches are key and that this
Forum should recommend that:
1. Human rights reporting to and by treaty bodies and special mandates should seek to
link hateful intent with other violations in order to provide a clearer picture of
systemic identity-based violence;
2. The importance of front-line organisations working to counter hate-speech should
be further recognised, also with dedicated investment.
Thank you, Madame Chairperson.
