Hate Speech in Asia: Challenges and Solutions

Across Asia hate speech based on fake news has led to an increase of violent incidents as disinformation divides communities during periods of political and communal tensions. With rising internet penetration and use of mobile devices, abusive and threatening remarks both in speech and writing are going viral over social media. Often such content expresses intense prejudice against individuals or particular groups, on the basis of disability, ethnicity, gender, nationality, political ideology, race, religion or sexual orientation which can rise up to a frenzy leading to violent outcomes. Governments have enacted laws to preserve public order as well as to protect human dignity. They have also sponsored and assembled inter-faith dialogues and embarked on social cohesion efforts. Other stakeholders such the UN, international organisations, civil society and faith-based groups are also doing their part to combat hate speech. In the search for solutions to these challenges, there is also a need for an evidence-based discussion to critically examine the phenomenon of hate speech and its impact on democracy, the rule of law and human rights. This conference seeks to address the issue of hate speech from an evidence-based and a solution grounded approach while upholding freedom of expression. Themes The key issues that will be examined are as follows: Blasphemy, hate speech, “harmony” (national, social, religious) laws and bills International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD) Human rights mechanisms (UN [UPR/Special Procedures], AICHR, NHRIs) Non-legal interfaith dialogues and social cohesion or social harmony initiatives Perspectives from religion, race, ethnicity and nationalities Political and nationality-based discrimination and hate Social protection of gender and LGBTIQ stakeholders Role of media, social media and technology Impact on democracy, freedom of expression, human rights and the rule of law Any other relevant or related themes Objectives The conference aims to achieve the following objectives: Convene interested individuals and organisations researching hate speech; Exchange information and trends around legislation to prevent hate speech; Examine non-legal measures to promote social cohesion and harmony; Evaluate hate speech’s impact on democracy, freedom of expression, human rights and the rule of law Conference Structure The conference will consist of short remarks, keynote speeches and plenary and breakout sessions made of thematic panels and country-specific discussions. Conference Participants Registration is open to all presenters and participants from academic institutions, businesses, national and regional civil society organisations, international NGOs, political parties and intergovernmental organisations to facilitate knowledge sharing and networking.

UB³ - Module 6 - Actualités en droit pénal et exécution des peines

Actualités en droit pénal et exécution des peines Sous la coordination de Christine Guillain, Professeure à l’Université Saint-Louis – Bruxelles et Franklin Kuty, Chargé de cours à l’ULB et l’UMons, juge au tribunal de première instance de Liège Si le projet de nouveau Code pénal n’a pu aboutir au cours de la législature 2014-2019, le Parlement n’en a pas moins voté diverses lois qui modifient la matière pénale et qui sont abordées au cours de ce module. Ainsi, en matière de droit pénal général, une nouvelle forme de récidive légale de crime sur délit a été introduite dans le Code pénal ; l’article 61 dudit Code, concernant le concours d’infractions, a été supprimé et les peinesdites alternatives sont favorisées en matière de racisme, de xénophobie et de discrimination. En matière de droit pénal spécial, de nombreuses modifications doivent également être relevées, qu’il s’agisse d’incriminations de nouveaux comportements, de modifications des éléments constitutifs, de déplacements d’infractions pénales ou de modifications des peines, tant dans le livre II du Code pénal que dans les lois particulières. Concernantl’exécution des peines, la loi du 5 mai 2019 a induit un changement fondamental dans l’exécution des peines de prison inférieures ou égales à trois ans, en modifiant la loi du 17 mai 2006 sur ce point, en vue de la faire entrer en vigueur le 1er octobre 2020. La nouvelle modalité de placement en maison de transition est égalementanalysée. Enfin, une quatrième contribution est consacrée à l’exigence de proportionnalité de la peine telle qu’elle est prévue tant par la loi, en ce qu’elle confère aux juridictions un pouvoir d’appréciation lors de la détermination de la répression, que par le droit international, qui leur permet d’écarter l’application d’unelégislation comminant une peine qui s’avère disproportionnée. Programme La proportionnalité des peines, Franklin Kuty, Chargé de cours à l’ULB et l’UMons, membre du Centre de recherches en droit pénal de l’ULB, juge au tribunal de première instance de Liège Actualités en droit pénal général, Christine Guillain, Professeure à l’Université Saint-Louis – Bruxelles, responsable du GREPEC (Groupe de recherche en matière pénale et criminelle) de l’USL-B Actualités en droit pénal spécial, Laurent Kennes, Chargé de cours à l’ULB et l’UMons, membre du Centre de recherches en droit pénal de l’ULB, avocat au barreau de Bruxelles Actualités en droit de l’exécution des peines, Olivia Nederlandt, Chercheuse FRS-FNRS à l’Université Saint-Louis – Bruxelles, membre du GREPEC de l’USL-B  Renseignements pratiques: Quand ?  Lundi  27 avril 2020, de 17h à 20h. Où ?  ULB - Auditoire R42.5.503 (bâtiment R42, 5e étage, local 503), Avenue Franklin D. Roosevelt, 42 (coin de l’avenue Jeanne), 1050 Bruxelles Clôture des inscriptions : 27 avril 2020, à midi.
