Proposition de loi modifiant la loi du 29 février 2024 introduisant le livre II du Code pénal en ce qui concerne la délimitation de l'infraction d'"incitation à la haine".

This is a Belgian parliamentary bill, submitted to the Chamber of Representatives, that would amend the law of 29 February 2024, which introduced Book II of the Belgian Criminal Code. The bill concerns how the offence of "incitement to hatred" is defined and where its boundaries lie. Clarifying such boundaries matters because it affects how hate speech is prosecuted and how much room remains for lawful expression. This summary is based on the title and metadata only, not the full text of the bill. The bill would mainly affect people who make public statements that could fall under the offence, as well as prosecutors, courts, and organisations working on hate speech or free expression. The exact changes to the definition cannot be determined from the metadata alone and would need to be checked against the bill's text.
