The webinar series is being organised by the IPU together with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), in cooperation with the International Panel of Parliamentarians on Freedom of Religion or Belief (IPPFoRB).

The third webinar will focus on Digital challenges to peace, inclusion and human rights: The role of social media platforms in spreading hate speech and ways to counter it.
