Title from PDF of title page (viewed, May 14, 2019)
This book examines the criminalisation of denials of genocide and of other massatrocities 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 digitalworld. 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. Emanuela Fronza is Senior Research Fellow in Criminal Law and Lecturer in Internationaland European Criminal Law at the School of Law, University of Bologna. She is a Principal Investigator within the EU research consortium Memory Lawsin European and Comparative Perspectives funded by HERA (Humanities in theEuropean Research Area).
