Literature Review on Hate Speech, its criminalization in Canada, and how it is relevant to new immigrants from the Turkish Hizmet movement, also known as the Gülen movement, who are vulnerable to hate speech.

Write a literature review on the subject matter of Hate Speech and its Criminalization in Canada and how it is relevant to new immigrants from the Turkish Hizmet movement, also known as the Gülen movement, who are vulnerable to hate speech. 

I have attached five documents for your review. The first document is a review of all Supreme Court of Canada cases in relation to hate speechs, whereby I have highlighted 10 cases (as well as 2 suplementary cases) to be most relevant to hate speech in Canada and hate speech which could have significance to people identifying with the Turkish Hizmet movement/Gülen movement in Canada – please describe the 12 most relevant cases in the literature review and draw parrallels with/describe why they are relevant to the subject matter at hand. Documents two, three, and four relate to the history of hate speech in Canada as well as its legality and criminalization. The fifth document relates to hate crimes against people identifying with the Turkish Hizmet/ Gülen movement groups on the rise in Turkey – this is a very important document to understand how the hate towards those identifying with the hizmet/gulen movement can translate over to that in Canada.

Within the literature review I need the concept of hate speech and the relevance of the Oakes test described as such:

“The literature on hate speech and the decisions of the Supreme Court of Canada indicate that, when it comes to cases involving hate speech, criminalization depends on the permissible limits of hate speech as defined by the Court. According to the Court, the following are the permissible limits for hate speech:

…where the term “hatred” is used in the context of a prohibition of expression in human rights legislation, it should be applied objectively to determine whether a reasonable person, aware of the context and circumstances, would view the expression as likely to expose a person or persons to detestation and vilification on the basis of a prohibited ground of discrimination.”

Also included is that the Supreme Court’s decisions on hate speech involve balancing the need to protect rights and freedom of expression with the need to protect vulnerable groups from harm. To achieve this balance, the Oakes test, which is named after the case that gave rise to it, R v Oakes [1986] 1 S.C.R. 103, is utilized as a jurisprudential standard or reasonableness test. Please describe the Oakes Test in the literature review as well!!!
