ARTICLE: Belavusau on Historical Revisionism in Comparative Law
ARTICLE: Belavusau on Historical Revisionism in Comparative Law
Uladzislau Belavusau's "Historical Revisionism in Comparative Perspective:
Law, Politics, and Surrogate Mourning" in Social and Political Philosophy eJournal,Vol. 7, No. 6: Jan 13, 2014,Recently the law on the Armenian genocide denial in France with a subsequent decision of the Conseil Constitutionnel (February 2012) shed fresh light on the controversial issue of historical revisionism. It disposed the issue in a wider perspective than a recurrent legal discussion on Holocaust denial. Furthermore, in drawing their bill, the authors of the French law invoked the EU Council Framework Decision 2008/913. This article demonstrates the chilling effects of that EU instrument for the freedom of speech in Europe. To these ends, it first explores the “European” model of legal engagement with historiography that is radically different from its counterpart in the USA. It further places this model in a fertile yet under-theorized comparative realm of three Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries: the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland. The CEE is a primary arena of the Holocaust, a region particularly sensitive to interpretations of World War II, and a battlefield of two totalitarian regimes. In normative terms, this comparative study of semantic and pragmatic differences between historical revisionism and hate speech, of victimhood and mens rea in the crime of Holocaust denial, as well as of the appropriation of selected episodes of World War II, concludes that the criminalization of historical revisionism constitutes a substantial impairment to the freedom of (academic) expression for the sake of politics of memory (Geschichtspolitik).

BOOK: Mastor, Miniato, et al on Les figures du procès au-delà des frontières
The abstract reads:
Les symboles du procès nous paraissent indissociables du rituel judiciaire. Une justice sans decorum est inconcevable car l'acte de juger n'est pas anodin, les symboles du procès exprimant la gravité du moment judiciaire. Pourtant, ces symboles sont parfois vus comme l'héritage d'une époque révolue, où juger était conçu comme une prérogative d'essence divine. D'ailleurs, la justice managériale et le process judiciaire ont tendance à les reléguer au second plan. L'étude du procès à travers ses symboles s'enrichit de celle de leurs représentations, notamment littéraires ou cinématographiques
A travers les figures du procès - symboles et leurs représentations -, cet ouvrage vous invite à voyager au-delà des frontières disciplinaires pour mieux rendre compte de la justice passée, présente et à venir.
