Summary/Abstract: This article explores international communications that often take place in the open and accessible media space in the absence of institutionalized channels. The media fill the communicative gaps in the international process, and in filling these gaps, they are different from conventional participants, mainly states, international organizations and even non-governmental organizations. What is unique is that the media have no definite institutional role in international relations and international law. The article also makes a distinction between hate speech, which is an indisputable violation of human rights and dignity, and propaganda that may be contemptuous but possibly subject to other non-legally binding instruments of acceptable international or national control such as agreements, standards or good practices.
