In Genocide Denials and the Law, Ludovic Hennebel and Thomas Hochmann offer athorough study of the relationship between law and genocide denial from the perspectives of specialists from six countries. This controversial topic provokes strong international reactions involving emotion caused by denial along with concerns about freedom of speech. The authors offer an in-depth study of thevarious legal issues raised by the denial of crimes against humanity, presenting arguments both in favor of and in opposition to prohibition of this expression. They do not adopt a pro or contra position, but include chapters writtenby proponents and opponents of a legal prohibition on genocide denial. The authors also compare the various solutions adopted in several legal systems, while examining the task of the judges who implement anti-denial laws.
