This Permanent Council decision calls on member states to prosecute violence and threats of violence motivated by racism and similar forms of prejudice on the internet. It notes that the OSCE representative on Freedom of the Media will monitor the situation in this respect in member states particularly through a system of early warning mechanisms when laws or other measures prohibiting speech motivated by prejudice are enforced on a selective basis. It also calls on member states to support studies that examine the relationship between hate speech and the commission of crimes motivated by hate against particular groups.
