D4.4 Landscape and Gap Analysis FINAL After QA Rights, Equality and Citizenship (REC) Programme of the European Commission (2014-2020) Monitoring and Detecting Online Hate Speech Version 1.1 D4.4 Landscape and Gap Analysis Abstract This is deliverable 4.4 for the Mandola project. This document focuses on the variety of ongoing initiatives (both EC funded and Non EC-funded, and profiles current activities in Europe and performs a brief Gap Analysis. Many countries are already supported by hotlines taking reports about hate speech through the INHOPE network and through other networks including INACH. However, some countries still do not have a structured response to hate speech or a method to handle complaints or reports about hate speech. For example, many members of the INHOPE network are from the area of children’s rights and have no mandate to respond to hate speech except in-so-far as they affect children. This report will highlight best practice in this field and through the gap analysis determine areas which MANDOLA will focus on.

In particular, the lack of renewal of the Council for the Judiciary persists in the absence of an agreement in Parliament to renew a number of constitutional bodies. A welcome development was the withdrawal of a proposed reform of the system for the selection of its judges-members that would have increased the perception of the Council as vulnerable to politicisation. In this context, calls were made for establishing a system of election of the judges-members of the Council by their peers in line with European standards.

Hewitt and Mrs Ruth Kane Hewitt The way of arms and arts as the way of the warrior is a constant precept that needs no detailing. Keep arts at your left side, arms by your right, the two must complement each other, without one the other can not be. Hojo Code The Martello Papers This is the eighteenth in a series of security studies published over the past several years by the Queen’s University Centre for International Relations (QCIR), under the general title of the Martello Papers. “From Ottawa to Sarajevo” is a detailed, empirical examination of Canadian participation in UN peacekeeping efforts in the former Yugoslavia between 1992 and 1995, written by a US Air Force officer, Major Dawn Hewitt, who served as Visiting Defence Fellow at the Centre during the 1996-97 academic year. Peacekeeping, by all accounts, has become increasingly complex since the end- ing of the Cold War, and as Major Hewitt’s monograph reveals, nowhere have those complexities and frustrations been more apparent than in the former Yugo- slavia.

  • Extortion in Spain
    Extortion in Spain thE Economic contExt Spain’s economy is the 14th largest in the world and 5th largest in the European Union in nominal GDP terms. The country is listed 23rd in the UN’s Human Development Index and 30th in GDP (PPP) per capita as stated by the World Bank, making it a high income economy and situated among the countries of very high human development. Spain has been suffering from an extended economic crisis from 2007 to 2014, which has had a great impact on the labour market as well as on the whole economy. The economic slump significantly reduced imports and increased, while the country kept attracting a growing number of foreign tourists. As a result, its trade balance in goods and services reached almost a 6 % deficit of GDP in 2007 and achieved a surplus in 2012 for the first time since 1997. Figure 1.

Extortion in Spain In November 2015, OECD’s economic forecast stated: “A robust economy recovery in Spain is projected to continue into 2016 and 2017, throughout a gradually slowing pace as the positive impact of the depreciation of the euro, and lower oil and other commodity prices, dissipate. Low borrowing rates of business and households will also continue to provide support together with the fiscal stance, which is expected to be mildly expansionary over the past two years. These factors, together with the implementation of significant structural reforms, are increasing business confidence” (OECD, 2015: 1).
