| Summary: | Hate speech is widely considered a precondition for mass atrocity. Since World War II a large body of case law has interpreted the key offenses criminalizing such discourse: (1) incitement to genocide; and (2) persecution as a crime against humanity.

'Atrocity Speech Law' fills this gap and provides needed perspective for courts, government officials, and scholars. |
