Nuno Igreja Matos participates in international colloquium on hate speech and responsibility

Nuno Igreja Matos will take part in the International Colloquium “Multicultural Societies, Hate Speech and Responsibility”, organised by the Centre for Private Law Research (CIDP), in partnership with the Centre for Research in Criminal Law and Criminal Sciences (CIDPCC) of the Faculty of Law of the University of Lisbon.

The event, taking place on 13 and 14 October, brings together academics and lawyers from various jurisdictions to reflect on the challenges facing multicultural societies, particularly with regard to the regulation of hate speech, the responsibility of digital platforms, and the balance between freedom of expression and the protection of fundamental rights.

Our lawyer will join the panel “The Limits of Tolerance”, addressing the topic “Political Debate and Hate Speech”, where he will reflect on the boundaries between freedom of expression in the political arena and the need to prevent and sanction manifestations of hate, thereby contributing to an essential debate on strengthening democratic societies.
