캐나다 다문화사회에서 표현의 자유와 혐오표현에 관한 헌법적 연구

This study explores the relationship between freedom of expression and hate speech regulation in a multicultural society from a constitutional perspective, focusing on Canadian legislation and case law. Since the 1960s, Canada has developed a legal framework for regulating hate speech at both the federal and provincial levels, with a variety of legal instruments to protect minorities and enhance social integration. Hate speech regulation in Canada is complemented by criminal law and human rights law, both of which aim to impose criminal sanctions on hate speech. In particular, the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of Canada has struck a balance between freedom of expression and the regulation of hate speech, while clearly recognizing the harmful effects of hate speech on social equality and the protection of minorities. These judicial responses have provided an important standard for Canadian society to address the problem of hate speech based on the principles of multiculturalism. Through the analysis of Canadian legal experience and case law, this study aims to draw implications that can contribute to resolving the hate speech issues faced by Korean society and building an inclusive, harmonious, and multicultural society.
