Incrimination de la négation du génocide des Arméniens

This is a French ordinary bill (proposition de loi) tabled in the National Assembly during the 15th legislature. Its title proposes making the denial of the Armenian genocide a criminal offence. Such measures usually raise questions about criminal law, freedom of expression, and how the state recognises historical events. This summary is based on metadata only, so the exact penalties and legal wording are not known here. The bill would mainly affect people who publicly deny or minimise the Armenian genocide, and it would bring this conduct under French criminal law. It would also be of interest to the Armenian community in France and to those concerned with freedom of expression and the rules governing historical debate.
