# Event Details - **Event Name**: Hate Speech and the European Court of Human Rights' with Natalie Alkiviadou - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 26 Feb, 2026 at 05:00 pm – Thu, 26 Feb, 2026 at 06:30 pm - **Event Description**: Join us for a deep dive into an important new book on the treatment of hate speech by the European Court of Human Rights.About this EventJoin us for a discussion of Natalie Alkiviadou's much-discussed new book, Hate Speech and the European Court of Human Rights, which argues that the Court has adopted an approach to hate speech that fails to provide proper protection to freedom of expression. The book reveals stark inconsistencies in the Court's caselaw in the treatment of different forms of hate and a consistent failure to have regard to relevant empirical evidence. Overall, the book argues that the Court needs a fundamental rethink in its approach to hate speech, which currently fails to uphold its supposedly bedrock principle that the Article 10 right to freedom of expression protects speech that may be deemed offensive, shocking, or disturbing.At the event, Dr Alkiviadou will briefly outline the key findings of the book, then two members of the Law School, Professor Gavin Phillipson and Mr Matthew Burton, will offer short commentaries. We will then turn to Q&A and general discussion. A drinks reception will follow.Biography: Natalie Alkividaou is Senior Research Fellow at the Future of Free Speech at Vanderbilt University.
