'Hate speech is spreading and public discourse is being coarsened.' UN chief Antonio Guterres says outside Al Noor Mosque in Christchurch
United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres takes part in a joint press conference with New Zealand's prime minister during his visit to Government House in Auckland on May 12, 2019.
Guterres visited the Al Noor Mosque in the southern city of Christchurch, where a self-confessed white supremacist killed more than 40 people on March 15 in one of the terror attacks on two mosques that killed a total of 51 people. "Hate speech is spreading and public discourse is being coarsened," Guterres said in a speech outside the mosque.
Guterres has asked the UN special adviser for the prevention of genocide to form a team to develop a global plan of action against hate speech, he added.
