hate speech does not stop at harming the character and dignity of individuals, but ultimately harms the identity of the target group and isolates them from the rest of society. Furthermore, this violation of human nature not only destroys individual dignity but ultimately prevents the development of an “ideal human society” (UN International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination). 2) Violation of Personal Rights Hate speech violates or threatens the basic freedom and rights of its subjects as discussed below. ① Right not to be discriminated (Article 11 of the Constitution) Hate speech negates and violates the rights of individuals not to be discriminated or the rights to be equally protected under the law. It is behavior that is based on discriminatory treatment or behavior that leads and causes such discrimination. Hate speech characterizes a certain trait of the subject of hatred, and treats them as exceptions from the right to be protected by the state or to be safe, political rights, the right to be married or select a spouse, the freedom of rally and association, the right to work and labor, the right to be educated and trained, and the right to participate in cultural activities. This not only violates the equal rights commonly stated in all human rights declarations including the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, it violates the right to equality and the right to not be discriminated under the constitution of Korea (Article 11). 27
