It seeks to introduce for the first time into law novel provisions including stronger safeguards against hate speech, the introduction of Group Libel, specific mention of anti-Semitism, outlawing of Holocaust denial, educational initiatives from primary school upwards promoting tolerance, diversity and respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tensions between communities, growing institutional distrust and nonsensical legal red tape mean that it is vital to take innovative legal steps to address this very real and growing threat. It is time to legislate against acts that are intolerable, but for which we currently have no recourse. Another important and unique feature of the Model Law is the provision that schools from primary level upwards should teach courses on tolerance, diversity and respect. The UK Government\u2019s recent push to counter extremism in universities and colleges acknowledges the significance of education in this struggle, but will not be far-reaching enough on its own to have the necessary long term impact. It was emphasized in the discussion, that adoption of the Model Law shall not be seen as a panacea for all problems stemming from a rising wave of extremism. Law can always be only part of a more coherent response to problems. But adopting laws can also not be excluded from tackling the problems of extremism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Agenda: Welcome Ireneusz Bil, ECTR Secretary General Matthew Offord, MP Introduction to Model Law Prof. Yoram Dinstein, ECTR Legal Expert Panel Discussion: Tim Montgomerie, (Moderator) Prof. Yoram Dinstein, ECTR Legal Expert &amp; bull;Prof. Rein Mullerson, ECTR Legal Expert David Anderson QC, Human Rights and European Law Expert&nbsp; Maajid Navaz, co-founder and chairman of Quilliam, The [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":165,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 -
