RI121222020-02-03T14:39:13Z Countering hate speech against refugees and migrants : An evaluation of international human rights treaties and soft law instruments Contrarrestando discursos de odio contra migrantes: Una evaluación de tratados internacionales de derechos humanos e instrumentos de derecho blando Fuchs Alvarado, Gustavo Derechos humanos, libertad de expresión, discursos de odio, migrantes, refugiados, Naciones Unidas Human rights, freedom of expression, hate speech, migrants, refugees, United Nations Since the refugee crisis in 2015, hate speech against refugees and migrants has increased significantly, becoming a cause of concern for the United Nations. Although there is no definition of hate speech or xenophobia in international law, dispositions in human rights treaties and soft law provide a mandate for States to protect migrants from hateful speech. By reviewing human rights treaties, documents from treaty bodies and other soft law instruments, this article aims to show that hateful speech targeting migrants should be sanctioned by law, as it falls outside the scope of freedom of expression. Desde la crisis de refugiados en el 2015, los discursos de odio contra refugiados y migrantes han aumentado significativamente, generando preocupación en las Naciones Unidas. A pesar de que no existe una definición en el derecho internacional para los conceptos de discurso de odio o xenofobia, disposiciones en tratados de derechos humanos y en derecho blando indican un deber de los Estados de proteger a migrantes frente a discursos de odio. Haciendo una revisión de tratados de derechos humanos, documentos de organismos emanados de dichos tratados y otros instrumentos de derecho blando, este artículo busca demostrar que el discurso de odio contra migrantes debería ser sancionado por ley, ya que no entra dentro del espectro del derecho a la libertad de expresión.
