Criminal law backed by the European Union for ending hate speech and discrimination

The persecution of certain minorities due to their place of origin or ethnic group unfortunately still occurs in Europe. To combat this type of discrimination, the European Union has backed a series of mechanisms that enable all member states to have a common framework based on the approval of the Union's Bill of Rights. It is also worth highlighting the challenges faced by European institutions in relation to these acts and to the ease of their spread via internet, particularly on social media, where fast and easy communication facilitates the dissemination of such messages and allows people to find groups of individuals who share this ideology, contrary to Human Rights, and who can create networks that endanger the Rule of Law, which is one of the basic principles underpinning the European Union.
