| Title | Anti-Roma speech before the European Court of Human Rights |
| Summary | The scope of the thesis is to analyze the effectiveness of the rule of law applied in three cases decided by the European Court of Human Rights in regard to racial hate speech: Aksu v. Turkey, Jersild v. Denmark, Leroy v France. These cases have been selected based on the court’s estimation in regard to offense of Roma sentiment example in Aksu v Turkey, second case is related to incitement of racial hatred and third case is based on provoking public reaction. These cases set a standard of what hate speech constitute and weaver it interferes with individual rights. The main research question is how effective the European Court of Human Rights judgments in the cases mentioned above are protecting the applicant’s rights. The main question splits into two major sub questions. First, whether the court has identified what kind of forms of expressions is considered as offensive including racism. Second, how the court is assessing the prohibition of the incitements to racial hatred, versus the interference with freedom of speech. In order to assess the above mentioned research questions, the analysis method will be used. Thus each case will be analyzed in the light of European Court of Human Rights Principles. |
