On Wednesday January 21st, the European Armenian Federation will
organize in the European Parliament in Brussels a workshop dedicated
to the provisions and the implementation of the Framework-Decision
against Racism and Xenophobia which was adopted late November by the
Council of the European Union.
The Framework decision provides a legislative framework to which the
penal laws of the 27 EU Member States will have to adopt within a two
year period, in order to penalize condoning, gross trivialization or
denial of genocides and crimes against humanity.
This meeting is organised under the aegis of Mrs Martine Roure,
Vice President of the European Parliament and rapporteur on the
Framework-Decision, and will be the occasion for European political
leaders, officials and experts from the European Commission
and Council, jurists from various countries, to present the
Framework-Decision, its application field and the legal possibilities
of its adaptation to the countries' legislations where the penalization
is on the agenda.
Other speakers such as representatives of European associations for
Human rights will testify that denialist acts and talks have increased
these last years and will express on their action in favour of the
denial's penalization.
