Hate speech and the challenges of human security: Reasons, risks, ways of coping

Abstract

One of the duties of social and political thought is to break into societal phenomena and issues, no matter how accurate, sensitive, and dangerous they are, and to extract them from the scope of narrow debate and dark rooms into the space of light, before they ferment and aggravate and then explode in the form of emotional frictions or ominous clashes, for this our current research deals with the topic of hate speech and the challenges of human security. Hate speech has recently spread widely, especially after the wide spread of social media programs, in light of the misuse and absence of legal oversight and social responsibility. Therefore, it is important to recognize the seriousness of “hate speech” of all kinds and that ensuring adequate protection of human rights requires addressing hatred in all its forms, because it undermines social cohesion and common values, lays the foundations for violence, obstructs the peace process, threatens stability, sustainable development, human dignity, peace and community security, and incites panic and fear. Among members of society, and more importantly, hate speech leads to individuals losing confidence in others, which negatively affects the human security of society
