International law imposes on states a duty to prohibit 'advocacy of religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination or violence'. What speech acts or publications fall under this offence? How do judges ascertain such 'incitement' has been committed? This book addresses these questions from the perspective of international and comparative law.
