Summary/Abstract: Hate speech can sometimes also take the form of public denial, belittlement or rehabilitation of crimes against humanity and war crimes or praise of persons convicted of such crimes. The article argues that the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) on hate speech, including on the internet, is still under development that involves balancing different rights and freedoms: discrimination, privacy and freedom of expression. The author also comparatively examines both existing models of countermeasures against hate speech, namely the European and American approaches.
