Faire de la négation du génocide arménien une infraction pénale

This is an ordinary bill (proposition de loi) tabled in the French National Assembly. It would make denying the Armenian genocide a criminal offence under French law. The bill belongs to a longer debate in France about how the state should respond to the denial of historical genocides, and how that response relates to freedom of expression and historical research. Based on the title alone, the text would create a new criminal provision rather than amend an existing one. The bill would apply to individuals who publicly deny the Armenian genocide within France. It would also be of particular interest to the French Armenian community, to historians, to journalists and publishers, and to legal scholars. The precise penalties, definitions, and scope are not visible from the metadata and would need to be checked in the full text.
