Abstract: A month ahead of elections in Myanmar, the International Human Rights Clinic (IHRC) and 18 organizations released a major report documenting and analyzing the role that hate speech, rampant misinformation campaigns, and ultranationalism have played in the resurgence of oppression and human rights violations in the country. “Hate Speech Ignited: Understanding Hate Speech in Myanmar” highlights how those in Myanmar’s government and military have aligned to aid in the proliferation of hate speech. The report urges Myanmar to tackle the problem ahead of elections and put in place measures in line with international human rights standards and with robust and inclusive participation of civil society.
