Freedom of Speech vs. Genocide Denial Laws
In January 2015, attorneys Geoffrey Robertson and Amal Alamuddin Clooney represented Armenia before the European Court of Human Rights in the case against the Turkish ultra-nationalist Doğu Perinçek for publicly denying the historical fact of the Armenian genocide. Here, Robertson speaks about the case in the context of national laws protecting an individual’s freedom of speech and defines the point at which freedom of speech may become harmful for the public.
