In this paper, the authors analyze hate speech in theory, legislation and case-law. The analysis thereof covers both the Croatian and comparative context. Issues specifically addressed in the paper are: definition of hate speech, justifications given for sanctioning hate speech, its legal regulation on international and domestic legislative levels and case-law of the Croatian Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights. In their final remarks, the authors offer suggestions for future legislative changes and stress that some recent developments in the Croatian case-law in this domain might in the future be subject to the Constitutional Court’s scrutiny.
