An introductory report on legal matters regarding online hate speech in Croatia and Europe
Ida Dojčinović
Sažetak
ELSA is a non-political, non-governmental, non-profit making, independent organisation
which is run by and for students within 1 member countries with more than 300 Local
Groups and 38,000 students. The Council of Europe is the human rights partner of ELSA.
In 2012 the ‘No Hate Speech Movement’ was launched by the CoE and ELSA became an
official partner of the campaign within which ELSA conducted a Legal Research Group
on the Online Hate Speech. 25 European countries have joined this LRG. These national
groups investigated the same 11 questions provided by the ELSA International in cooperation
with the Council of Europe. The questions relate to legislation and case law on both
national and European level. Many of the answers can only serve as a general overview.
The 25 national reports will be compiled and made available to students and professionals
in the field of free speech and discrimination. The final report seeks to serve as a comparative
source that can reflect similarities and differences between the national legislations
that are investigated.
Finally, the Croatian LRG was established in September 2013. The following report
is a result of the cooperation between six national researchers, two academic advisors,
linguistic editors and national coordinator. Some of the questions relate specifically to Croatian
law while others required research on international legislation and European Court
of Human Rights case law. Requests relating to the Croatian report can be directed to
