This book examines the criminalisation of denials of genocide and of other mass
atrocities in Europe and discusses the implications of protecting institutional historical
memory through criminal law.
The analysis highlights the tensions with free speech, investigating the relationship
between criminal law and historical memory. The book paves the way for a broader
discussion about fake news, 'post-truth' scenarios, and free expression in a digital
world. The author underscores the need to protect well-founded factual records from
the dangers of misinformation. Historical denialism and the related jurisprudence
represent a key step in exploring this complex field.
The book combines an interdisciplinary approach with criminal law methodology.
It is primarily aimed at academics, practitioners and others who wish to deepen
their understanding of historical denialism, remembrance laws, 'speech crimes' and
freedom of expression.
