France waits for ECHR on 'genocide' bill

France will wait for a final decision from the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) before reintroducing a bill criminalizing the denial of the 1915 mass killings of Armenians as genocide, President François Hollande said May 12.

In 2012, France’s Constitutional Council struck down a government-backed law criminalizing denials of the 1915 events as genocide on the grounds that it contradicted the French Constitution. And late last year, the ECHR ruled that denial of the 1915 mass killings of Armenians as genocide falls within the limits of freedom of expression, following an appeal from a Turkish politician against his conviction in Switzerland. The decision was referred to the ECHR’s Grand Chamber by the Swiss Justice Ministry for the final ruling.
