COMMENT
The ruling should be a warning to every European, and especially Europeans who are subjects of the national identity and rights usurping supranational body, known as the European Union. Going by the decision (and not having read the 1880s legislation), it looks like the law mentioned covers what constitutes 'hate speech' in France (political suppression, really), but whoever drafted it most probably neglected to define and protect the native French, so the speech (and political suppression) laws are a one way street -- here. Recapping, what we have in this series of articles is: Not that long ago those 'white genocide' slogans struck me as extreme, weird, highly improbable and somewhat humorous. Frenchies, a far better course of action would be to repeal the ridiculous speech law that no doubt politically hobbles the French, and apparently a law that has also led to the legal negation of even the existence of native French. That video is a bit creepy for my taste. I don't think his address should be published (no matter what he wrote), and the film-clip imagery of someone about to have his nuts bashed in by a baseball bat makes me want to squirm and cross my legs (even though I don't have balls). [I find this stuff fascinating, but after a while it starts to do my head in ... it's anger provoking and then depressing, but mostly it's lot like watching a car-crash in slow motion.]

COMMENT
Germany is a totalitarian state of the worst order: a state that is forcibly 're-educating' citizens, & denying, suppressing, extinguishing various freedoms, defences and academic facts etc. I'm not sure what that is, but I think Mahler and various others targeted by the German state are (or have in the past been) political prisoners and/or targets of political persecution. This is a bigger revelation to me than the Snowden leaks confirming that we are under the intrusive gaze and supervision of a coterie of Western totalitarian powers conducting mass-surveillance upon multiple unsuspecting entire nations across the world (including their own). This is absolute proof that the 'freedoms' we are given to believe we have in Western democracies are a lie. Why would anyone dream that whistleblowers or defenders of any civil freedoms whatsoever belong in brave new fascist Germany? And who knew that there's Canadian-German and British-German collusion to prosecute people for apparently speaking their minds? Wow. I don't know anything about Toben, but all these academics around the world cannot be 'nuts'. Recall from earlier reading of related material that there's also been a New Zealand academic that's fallen prey to what I guess is suppression of dissenting opinion or thought -- but in an academic setting (and in empirical terms, I guess), which is probably far worse than suppressing the voices of the great unwashed (academia requires integrity and grounding in reality, and academia is a thought-leader, a thought shaper, a voice of reason, and an authority 'defining' that which is -- but that vital voice of reason is silenced by the state). The article's written by an academic, Thomas Fudge, who resigned in protest at Canterbury University's refusal to publish an article defending NZ academic, Joel Hayward. Thomas Fudge sounds like a really cool and decent guy. History's his field so he'd also have some amazing things to share. Thomas Fudge's article in defence of Joel Hayward is one of the most mind-blowing things I've ever read.
PS -- It's a sad day when you have to rely on the Liberal party to defend vital freedoms, while the pathetic waste of space that is the Labour party lobbies to rob you of freedom. What passes as the 'left' of politics disgusts me. And all this time I fancied myself a 'socialist'.

Japan - UN HRC - 'Hate Speech' Legislation
Japanese officials order removal of war memorial for Korean labourers Petitions complained that monument erected by a friendship society in a public park in Gunma prefecture was anti-Japanese Justin McCurry in Tokyo theguardian.com, Wednesday 23 July 2014 20.22 AEST
Local authorities in Japan have demanded the removal of a monument in memory of the tens of thousands of labourers forcibly recruited from the Korean peninsula during the second world war. [...] Many of the 600,000 ethnic Koreans living in Japan are the descendants of labourers who remained in the country after its defeat in 1945. | Commemorating the use of forced labour is causing similar controversy in other parts of Japan. In Nagasaki, a row has erupted over a proposed monument to Korean victims of the atomic bombing ... The controversies are being played out against a rise in anti-Korean sentiment in Japan, fuelled by disputes between Tokyo and Seoul over territory and Japan's conduct during its 1910-1945 occupation of the Korean peninsula. The UN human rights committee has called on Japan to do more to clamp down on hate speech directed at Koreans during demonstrations in Tokyo and other cities. The committee, which noted that there were more than 360 such demonstrations and speeches last year, mainly in Korean neighbourhoods in Tokyo, is expected to make recommendations to Japan on Wednesday, possibly including the introduction of legislation against hate speech. ... officials from both countries met in Seoul to discuss Japan's use of as many as 200,000 mainly Korean and Chinese women as sex slaves before and during the war. Japan recently ruled out a revision to a 1993 official apology... The prime minister, Shinzo Abe, is one of several prominent conservative politicians who have questioned claims that the imperial Japanese army coerced the women – euphemistically referred to as comfort women – into working in frontline brothels.

COMMENT
It's supposed to be commemorative but it's not merely commemorative; it's a political statement also -- even if that's not the intention.
Political or commemorative, it shouldn't matter.
But it's obviously rocking the boat over in Japan.
Even so, the anti 'hate speech' legislation proposed by the UN is legislation to silence disapproval.
But isn't that kind of like trying to legislate to produce an altered perception of reality?
