Additional Protocol to the Convention on Cybercrime, concerning the criminalisation of
acts of a racist and xenophobic nature committed through computer systems, 2003.
Although it is not a direct reaction to hate speech, it is also possible to indirectly
reduce hate speech by giving additional punishment to hate crimes. Hate crimes
refer to crimes such as murder, violence, and arson based on prejudice. In other
countries, much legislation further punishes hate crimes, and in some cases, hate
crimes are considered in the examination of an offense without any revision of
legislation. According to the “Standards for Examination of an Offense based on
Crimes of Defamation” that comes into effect on July 2019, “crimes from revenge,
grudges, hatred or loathing towards the victim” are included in “Criminal Intents to
be condemned,” which is a weighting factor for the examination of an offense. In
other words, it is possible to receive weighted punishment in case of defamation or
contempt from hatred or loathing.
