Give a brief account on defamation.

False remarks about a person, place, or thing that harm its reputation are sent to a third party in a defamatory act. Slander can be spoken orally or in writing (libel). It is either illegal or a tort. Different nations and jurisdictions have very different legal definitions of defamation and associated activities, as well as very different approaches to dealing with them.

Several actions are covered by defamation laws, including:

  1. generic insults directed at legal entities
  2. broad defamation of a legal person
  3. Defamation of public authorities
  4. actions against government institutions (e.g., government, ministries, government agencies, armed forces)
  5. violations of state symbols
  6. crimes committed against the state
  7. violations of religion (e.g., blasphemy, discrimination)
  8. actions against the legislature or judiciary (e.g., contempt of court, censure)
