antidiscrimination legislation should be established, and educational or promotional policies should be provided based on such legislation. Second, the nation should reinforce countermeasures for the subjects of hate speech. The nation should not be responsible for organizing such countermeasures, but should provide and support the foundations for society and people subject to hatred to develop an awareness of human rights violations and secure competences to fight back. Some examples include providing policies to actively protect underprivileged groups and allow them to have practical voices within society. Other examples include controlling or limiting political or economic support for hate groups and taking action to ensure that public forums such as public facilities and plazas are not used for expressing hate speech. The National Human Rights Commission of Korea should be the cornerstone of these roles for the nation. The Commission is a public organization that provides political directions and alternatives to react to hate speech to lead other public areas and has the responsibility to bring forward all areas of society to react to hate speech with “democratic persuasion.” First, public announcements should be made regarding hate speech and social reactions to it. Investigations on hate speech should be carried out and campaigns should be made to encourage respect for the values of human rights and diversity. 61
