Questione giuridica chiave
Whether denial of the Armenian genocide falls under Art. 261bis para. 4 CP.
Decisione estratta
Art. 261bis para. 4 CP is not limited to Nazi crimes and can cover denial of other genocides, including the Armenian genocide, if the historical facts are generally recognized as genocidal.
Motivazione estratta
The statutory wording is open-ended ('a genocide'); legislative history, case law and doctrine show that the provision is not confined to the Holocaust.
