The European Union (EU) and the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) organised jointly a one-day symposium on Hate Speech Against Migrants and Refugees in the Media on 26 January, 2016 in Brussels. The EU/UNAOC symposium drew on the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants of 19 September 2016 and on its commitment to counter hate crimes, hate speech and racial violence. The symposium also dovetailed with the launch of the United Nations TOGETHER INITIATIVE to changing negative perceptions and attitudes towards refugees. The EU/UNAOC #SpreadNoHate symposium would gather around 100 selected participants from the media and civil society, as well as international organisations in Europe and its neighbourhood. |
