“The Media Law Forum has painstakingly developed five articles to enlighten readers on the complexities of legal provisions and hate speech, thereby contributing to a broader discourse on these critical issues. With a steadfast commitment to linguistic diversity, we are proud to present two articles each in English and Tamil, and one article in Sinhala, as part of the esteemed UNESCO project, ‘Strengthening Capacities of Journalists in Using Legal Tools to Address Hate Speech and Call for Law Reforms in Sri Lanka.’
These articles delve into the multifaceted dimensions of hate speech within the framework of existing legal structures, offering insights and analysis crucial for fostering a more informed and responsible media landscape. We cordially invite you to explore these articles and engage in the ongoing dialogue surrounding the imperative need for legal reforms to combat hate speech effectively.”
