Genocide Denial, Disinformation, Armed Conflict: What can lawyers do?
share this post:
This report, written by Jacqueline Fordyce for JUSTICE Scotland and in collaboration with the Faculty of Advocates’ Human Rights and Rule of Law Committee, summarised the closed discussion event on 20 June 2022, as part of the JUSTICE Ukraine Series. A panel of speakers addressed an invited audience on a range of themes, followed by a general discussion (subject to the Chatham House rule) of the issues arising.
The report highlights three main ways to tackle disinformation and genocide denial – prevention, by international bodies and legal education, intervening and ensuring that evidence is captured accurately, and accountability, including legislation, prosecution and reparations.
