Our objective to create conditions for the safe exercise of our faith and preservation of faith- based identity, both of which are under persistent pressure from vilification, discrimination and disinformation. 5. We are engaged in policy development across hate crime & vilification laws, online safety, disinformation and democracy. Through using a combination of media, law, research, and direct engagement with decision making parties such as government and digital platforms, we are in a constant process of generating and testing constructive proposals. We also test existing civil and criminal laws to push back against the mainstreaming of hate, and examine whether those laws are fit for purpose. Most recently, we are finalising significant research into how anti-Muslim dehumanising discourse operates on Facebook and Twitter, and the assessment framework that could be used to competently and consistently assess hate actors.

    AD HOC COMMITTEE ON COUNTERING TERRORISM OFFICIAL VISIT TO NORWAY 14-15 January 2020 NOTE-TO-THE-FILE Introduction On the 14th-15th of January 2020, the OSCE PA Ad Hoc Committee on Countering Terrorism (CCT) conducted an official visit to Norway. The 20-member delegation, which consisted of CCT members as well as representatives from the OSCE Transnational Threats Department and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean, was led by OSCE PA President George Tsereteli. The visit, initiated by CCT Chair Mr. Abid Q. Raja and organized by the Norwegian Parliament (Stortinget), was also attended by OSCE PA Secretary General Roberto Montella. 1 After being welcomed by the President of the Norwegian Parliament, the delegation paid tribute to the victims of the 22nd July 2011 terror attacks in both Utøya Island and Oslo. During the two- day programme, the delegation also had the opportunity to meet with the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Climate and Environment, the Governing Mayor of Oslo, several members of the Labour Party and the Worker’s Youth League, as well as with representatives of the Norwegian Police Security Service, Norwegian Correctional System, the 22nd July Commission, the 22nd July Parliamentary Committee, the 22nd July Support Group and academia. Notably, many interlocutors had first-hand experience of the 22nd July 2011 tragic events. Ultimately, the visit provided an excellent opportunity to get familiar with the national counter terrorism system and learn more about Norway’s multifaceted response to the 22nd July attacks, which included legislative reform, emergency response preparedness, the prevention of terrorism and radicalization, and the role of public health services.

  • Policy Options and Regulatory Mechanisms for Managing Radicalization on the Internet
    Policy options and regulatory mechanisms for managing radicalization on the Internet Paris, 30 September 2016 “[…] I firmly believe that in a free democratic society, freedom of speech and expression is one of the most prized freedoms which must be defended and upheld at any cost and this should be particularly so in the land of Voltaire. It is indeed unfortunate that in the world of today, when science and technology have advanced the frontiers of knowledge and mankind is beginning to realize that human happiness can be realized only through inter-dependence and cooperation, the threshold of tolerance should be going down. It is high time man should realize his spiritual dimension and replace bitterness and hatred by love and compassion, tolerance and forgiveness.” Justice Prafullachandra Bhagwati Dan Shefet (Individual Specialist) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author wishes to thank the following for their support, valuable advice and input throughout the drafting of the Report: Dr. Indrajit Banerjee and his team in UNESCO’s Knowledge Societies Division The UNESCO Delegates and Ministries of Justice/Interior of countries that have participated in the Country Survey.

Stohler FacultyAdviser: Dr, Dennis Klein r'^dw May 13,2020 )ol, Masters of Arts in Holocaust & Genocide Studies Kean University In partialfulfillumt of the rcquirementfar the degee of Moster of A* Abstract: I focused my research on modern, American hate groups. I found some criteria for early- warning signs of antisemitic, bigoted and genocidal activities. I included a summary of neo-Nazi and white supremacy groups in modern American and then moved to a more specific focus on contemporary and prominent groups like Atomwaffen Division, the Proud Boys, the Vinlanders Social Club, the Base, Rise Against Movement, the Hammerskins, and other prominent antisemitic and hate-driven groups. Trends of hate-speech, acts of vandalism and acts of violence within the past fifty years were examined. Also, how law enforcement and the legal system has responded to these activities has been included as well. The different methods these groups use for indoctrination of younger generations has been an important aspect of my research: the consistent use of hate-rock and how hate-groups have co-opted punk and hardcore music to further their ideology. Live-music concerts and festivals surrounding these types of bands and how hate-groups have used music as a means to fund their more violent activities have been crucial components of my research as well. The use of other forms of music and the reactions of non-hate-based artists are also included. The use of the internet, social media and other digital means has also be a primary point of discussion.
