Próba oceny karnoprawnych regulacji zwalczania mowy nienawiści w Polsce

The article draws attention to the problem of permanent conflict between freedom of speech (freedom of expression) and hate speech used in communication by politicians and ordinary people in a democratic state, not only to strenghten the importance of civil rights and freedom, but often to antagonize specific social groups. They attempt to evaluate legal tools in the fight against hate speech and their effectiveness in combating this social pathology, but also stress further need for changes in criminal law in this area to facilitate those experiencing hate speech and discriminatory justice. It should be noticed that the problem of excluding hate speech from social life is extremely complex and difficult to implement in practice. Each interference of the legislator with civil rights and freedom should be proportionate and carefully thought out and can not lead to an unjustified limitation of these rights.
