➡ Povodom Međunarodnog dana borbe protiv govora mržnje, Ured Ujedinjenih nacija za ljudska prava, Centralna izborna komisija Bosne i Hercegovine i BIRN BiH naglašavaju da govor mržnje i poticanje na mržnju u izbornom kontekstu predstavljaju ozbiljan rizik za demokratske procese, ljudska prava i mir.
Izborni periodi su posebno osjetljivi, jer politička konkurencija može pojačati podjele i diskriminatorne narative. Izborni zakon zabranjuje govor mržnje svim izbornim akterima i uspostavlja jasan okvir za njegovo sprječavanje i sankcionisanje.
U tom kontekstu, Ured Ujedinjenih nacija za ljudska prava, Centralna izborna komisija Bosne i Hercegovine i BIRN BiH će zajednički djelovati kroz kampanju usmjerenu na suzbijanje govora mržnje u izborima, jačajući poštovanje, inkluziju i sigurno demokratsko učešće.

➡ On the International Day for Countering Hate Speech, United Nations Human Rights, the Central Election Commission of Bosnia and Herzegovina and BIRN BiH underline that hate speech and incitement to hatred in electoral contexts pose a serious risk to democratic processes, human rights, and peace.
Electoral periods are particularly sensitive, as political competition can amplify divisive and discriminatory narratives. The Election Law prohibits hate speech by all electoral actors and sets a clear framework for its prevention and sanctioning.
In this context, United Nations Human Rights, the Central Election Commission of Bosnia and Herzegovina and BIRN BiH will join efforts through a campaign aimed at countering hate speech in elections, reinforcing respect, inclusion, and safe democratic participation.
