    UNiting Against Hate episode 8: Does Costa Rica have the answers?

    Costa Rica is known for its strong democracy, pro-human rights stance, and deep respect of the rule of law, so it was a shock when the 2018 general elections ushered in an unprecedented polarization of Costa Rican society. This shift was accompanied by a sharp rise in hate speech and expressions of discrimination and xenophobia. In the last episode of this season of UNiting Against Hate, Katy Dartford looks at the ways that the country, with strong support from the UN, decided to confront the problem.

    UNiting Against Hate episode 7: Intercultural dialogue, the ‘antidote to violence’

    It's common to hear that the world has never been more interconnected. But at the same time, it's never been easier to share differences of opinion and spread misinformation, hate speech and information that divides and causes fear and mistrust. However, there is an age-old method of building trust between opposing societies, communities, and people: intercultural dialogue. Intercultural dialogue has been described as an antidote to rejection and violence, but can it really make a difference in a world where toxic language and conflict are the things that make headlines, generates more clicks, and – so it often seems – win votes?

    UNiting Against Hate episode 6: Is hate speech on the rise?

    There is concern amongst human rights experts and activists that hate speech is becoming more prevalent, with views once perceived as fringe and extreme, moving into the mainstream. This episode of UNiting Against Hate features Tendayi Achiume, the outgoing UN Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, and Jaroslav Valůch, who is the project manager for fact-checking and news literacy, at Prague-based media development organization “Transitions”. Both express fears that online technology, especially social media platforms, are facilitating the spread of hate-based narratives, whilst acknowledging the technology can also be used to help tackle, and counter, hate speech.
