Freedom of expression, which means the freedom to express any kind of opinion freely and which has the honour value arising from the human being, is the indemnity of many fundamental rights and liberties. In this instance, it is not possible to talk about other rights and liberties in societies, in which freedom of expression is not completely protected. Nevertheless, it is accepted that freedom of expression is not an unlimited right, but on the contrary, it is subject to some restrictions in democratic societies. Article 10 of the ECHR, which brings the basic principle of freedom, also underlines that this freedom has some boundaries. In Article 10/2 of the convention, it is anticipated that this freedom may be limited in the presence of legitimate objectives, which are counted as a constraint. In the absence of any of these purposes, it is accepted by the ECHR that the freedom of expression is violated. In this study, some of the ECHR judgments on violent discourses, which Turkey is a party, are discussed in the framework of article 10 of the ECHR. While investigating whether violent discourses a call for violence, the ECHR adopts a different approach to the issue and develops a jurisprudence that is a resource, taking into account the specific aspects of each concrete situation.
