| Description | In Czech Republic, measures for criminalising hate speech have been developing throughout last three decades. The steps taken by government, legislators, police, Prosecutor General's Office, highest courts and Constitutional Court as well as NGOs provided notable aid in struggle with this phenomenon. International bodies and their monitoring of situation have played a significant role. The cases connected with members of National Resistance movement, several members of Parliament and selling of items connected with Nazi ideology led to positive changes. Mass media have played an important role, especially in connection with Roma minority situation, migration crisis and current war in Ukraine. |
