The EU is bringing in new law against genocide denial. Deborah Lipstadt, who was sued by David Irving, discusses the new directive and its ramifications.
A new EU directive has made "publicly condoning, denying or grossly trivialising crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes" an offence which is punishable by law. Is such a ban necessary, and, if so, is it workable? Does the proposed EU-wide legislation confuse the role of the judge and the historian and – if so – what are the legal and philosophical implications of its passage into law?
Speakers: Deborah Lipstadt, Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish and Holocaust Studies Director, Institute for Jewish Studies Emory University and author of History on Trial: My Day in Court with a Holocaust Denier; David Cesarani; Research professor in History at Royal Holloway, University of London and author of Eichmann: His Life and Crimes; Frank Furedi, Professor of Sociology at the University of Kent and author of Politics of Fear: Beyond Left and Right; Francesca Klug, Professorial Research Fellow at the Centre for the Study of Human Rights, LSE and author of Values for a Godless Age.
