Two problems for using Human Rights as Benchmarks in Human Rights Impact Assessments
In the last few years, CELE has been looking at how the ICT sector uses Human Rights Impact Assessments (HRIA) and other due diligence practices to assess their own conduct.

Penar la intolerancia 'male sal' Criticas a la convención Interamericana contra toda forma de Discriminación e intolerancia.
En el CELE decidimos mirar la Convención más de cerca y lo que encontramos nos preocupó. Si bien los fines que persigue la Convención son indiscutiblemente loables, los términos en los que están definidos los alcances de las obligaciones que impone al estado son preocupantes desde la libertad de expresión. Es por ello que decidimos escribir un artículo que salió publicado en el último volúmen de la Revista Argentina …

Legal Approaches to Hate Speech Within the Internet Ecosystem: Speed, Scope, and Scale
CELE Research Paper No. 70SSRN ID: 5557303The debate over how to de"ne hate speech, particularly in the online world, is far from settled. Defnitions from international documents are still vague and ambiguous, whereas States around the world have been adopting in their respective legal systems diverse definitions of hate speech. In this context, some States may have stepped beyond the thresholds established under international human rights law by using this concept as a way of categorizing ideas that the majority or those in power may f
Moderating Hate or Moderating Rights? The Paradox of the European Approach to Online Hate Speech and Platform Liability
CELE Research Paper No. 69SSRN ID: 5432875This paper critically assesses the European approach to regulating online hate speech through platform liability frameworks, focusing on Germany’s Network Enforcement Act (NetzDG) and the European Union’s Digital Services Act. It argues that these laws, while aiming to curb online harm, risk infringing on the right to freedom of expression and non-discrimination by delegating content moderation powers to private, profit-driven companies. The paper highlights how tight removal deadlines, legal ambiguity, and …

However, a significant digital divide persists, exacerbating existing inequalities, particularly for women and marginalized communities in Mexico.

Criminalization of Discriminatory Expression in the Americas: The Case of Non-Consensual Pornography Regulation in Argentina
CELE Research Paper No. 31SSRN ID: 5146360This article, based on a contribution to the 2018 report of the United Nations Special Rapporteur on violence against women, addresses the growing trend in Latin America toward the criminalization of online speech. Often, initiatives that pursue well-intentioned objectives of combating discrimination and violence can, paradoxically, impact the rights of the very groups they seek to protect. In this regard, this paper analyzes, from a freedom of expression perspective, the specific case of legisl
