It also has provisions to fight d=scrimination against individuals or groups on the basis of religion, caste,=doctrine, race, colour or ethnic origin.

The la= condemns actions that would comprise hate speech or the promotion of discr=mination or violence against others using any form of media, including onli=e, print, radio or visual media.

Strict action w=ll be taken against any form of expressions of hatred or incitement to hate=crimes spread in the form of speech and published media.

The law prohibits any entity or group established specifically to p=ovoke religious hatred and recommends stringent punishments for groups or s=pporters of any organizations or individuals that are associated with hate c=imes. It also bars any kind of events such as conferences and meetings with=n the UAE organized with the sole purpose of sowing seeds of discrimination= discord or hatred against individuals or groups on the basis of faith, ori=in or race.
