Abstract:
Discusses the difficulties of dealing with Holocaust denial on a legal basis. Surveys countries in which the phenomenon is prohibited by special laws enacted during the 1980s (e.g. West Germany, France, Switzerland, Israel). Concludes that where denial is not accompanied by antisemitic remarks one cannot rely on those statements alone to be judged as incitement. States that it would be preferable to include Holocaust denial in a larger category of denial of crimes against humanity, which would be outlawed in special legislation.
