Genocide denial is the attempt to deny or minimize the scale and severity of an instance ofgenocide.Denial is an integral part of genocide[1][2][3] and includes the secret planning of genocide, propaganda while the genocide is going on,[1] anddestruction of evidence of mass killings.

Denial is considered a genocidal process,[4] the final stage,[1][5][6] and a catalyst or indicator of future atrocities.[7][8][9] Prominent examples include: thedenial of the Armenian,Bosnian,Cambodian,Gaza andRwandan genocides,denial of the Holocaust, anddenial of genocides against colonized indigenous peoples and gaza genocide.[10][11][12]

The distinction betweenhistorical revisionism andhistorical negationism, including genocide denial, rests upon the techniques and motivations which are used.

Historical revisionists and negationists rewrite history in order to support an agenda, which is usually political or ideological, by using falsification andrhetorical fallacies in order to obtain their desired results. Exposure of genocide denial and revisionism surged in the early 21st century, facilitated by the propagation ofconspiracy theories andhate speech on social media.[10]

Academic analysis

[edit]

Genocide Watch states that denial "is among the surest indicators of further genocidal massacres".[13]

Historian,Richard Hovannisian states, "Complete annihilation of a people requires the banishment of recollection and suffocation of remembrance. Falsification, deception and half-truths reduce what was, to what might have been or perhaps what was not at all."[14] According to historianTaner Akçam, "the practice of 'denialism' in regard to mass atrocities is usually thought of as a simple denial of the facts, but this is not true. Rather, it is in that nebulous territory between facts and truth where such denialism germinates."[15]

David Tolbert, president of theInternational Center for Transitional Justice, states:

Denial is the final fortress of those who commit genocide and other mass crimes. Perpetrators hide the truth to avoid accountability and protect the political and economic advantages they sought to gain by mass killings and theft of the victims' property, and to cement the new reality by manufacturing an alternative history. Recent studies have established that such denial not only damages the victims and their destroyed communities, it promises a future based on lies, sowing the seeds of future conflict, repression and suffering.[16]

Motives

[edit]

The main reasons for denying genocide are to evade moral or even criminal responsibility and to protect the perpetrators' reputation[17][18] or justify their actions.[19] For scholars, another may becareerism.[20]

Strategies

[edit]

Denialist strategies include questioning statistics,[21] denial of intent, definitional debates,[22] blaming the victim (sometimes called "mirroring"[23][24][25] ), claiming self-defense, media disinformation campaigns,[26] and challenging the victims' group identity.[27][6] Genocide scholar Israel Charny outlines five psychological characteristics of denials of genocide.[28]

Certain denialist phrases are elaborated by genocide scholarsAdam Jones:[21]

  • "Hardly anybody died" When the genocides lie far in the past, denial is easier.
  • "It wasn't intentional" Disease and famine-causing conditions such as forced labor, concentration camps and slavery (even though they may be manufactured by the perpetrator) may be blamed for casualties.
  • "There weren't that many people to begin with" Minimizing the casualties of the victims, while the criminals destroy or hide the evidence.
  • "It was self defense" The killing of civilians, especially able bodied males is rationalized in preemptive attack, as they are accused of plotting against the perpetrators. The perpetrator may exterminate witnesses and relatives of the victims.
  • "There was no central direction" Perpetrators can use militias, paramilitaries, mercenaries, or death squads to avoid being seen as directly participating.
  • "It wasn't or isn't 'genocide,' because ..." They may enter definitional or rhetorical argumentation.
  • "We would never do that" Self-image cannot be questioned: the perpetrator sees itself as benevolent by definition. Evidence doesn't matter.
  • "We are the real victims" They deflect attention to their own casualties/losses, without historical context.

One commonality between genocide deniers is the unwillingness to change their position in response to overwhelming evidence to the contrary.[29]

Prominent examples of denial by non-governmental entities

[edit]
  • In his 1984 bookThe Other Side: The Secret Relationship Between Nazism and Zionism Palestinian PresidentMahmoud Abbas argued that only "a few hundred thousand" Jews were murdered inthe Holocaust, the Jews brought the Holocaust upon themselves because of their behavior, andZionists had collaborated with the Nazis in an attempt to send more Jews to Israel. In a 2006 interview, without retracting these specific claims, he stated: "The Holocaust was a terrible, unforgivable crime against the Jewish nation, acrime against humanity that cannot be accepted by humankind."[30]
  • In February 2006David Irving was imprisoned inAustria forHolocaust denial; he served 13 months in prison before being released on probation.[31][32]
  • David Campbell has written of the now defunct British magazineLiving Marxism that "LM's intentions are clear from the way they have sought to publicize accounts of contemporary atrocities which suggest they were certainly not genocidal (as in the case ofRwanda), and perhaps did not even occur (as in the case of the murder of nearly 8,000 atSrebrenica)."[33][34] Chris McGreal writing inThe Guardian on 20 March 2000 stated thatFiona Fox writing under a pseudonym had contributed an article toLiving Marxism which was part of a campaign byLiving Marxism that denied that the event which occurred in Rwanda was a genocide.[34]
  • Scott Jaschik has stated thatJustin McCarthy, is one of two scholars "most active on promoting the view that no Armenian genocide took place".[35] He was one of four scholars who participated in a controversial debate hosted byPBS about the genocide.[36]
  • Darko Trifunovic is the author of theReport about Case Srebrenica,[37] which was commissioned by the government of theRepublika Srpska.[38] TheInternational Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) reviewed the report and concluded that it "represented one of the worst examples of revisionism, in relation to the mass executions of Bosniaks committed in Srebrenica in July 1995".[39] After the report was published on 3 September 2002, it provoked outrage and condemnation by a wide variety of Balkans and international figures, individuals, and organizations.[38][40]
  • Patrick Karuretwa stated in theHarvard Law Record that in 2007 the Canadian politicianRobin Philpot "attracted intense media attention for repeatedly denying the 1994 genocide of the Tutsis"[41]
  • On 21 April 2016 a full-page ad appeared inThe Wall Street Journal andChicago Tribune that directed readers toFact Check Armenia, a genocide denial website sponsored by theTurkish lobby in the US. When confronted about the ad aWall Street Journal spokesperson stated, "We accept a wide range of advertisements, including those with provocative viewpoints. While we review ad copy for issues of taste, the varied and divergent views expressed belong to the advertisers."[42]
  • American philosopherSteven T. Katz has argued that the Holocaust is the only genocide that has occurred in history.[43][44]

Australia

The Australian government has been criticized for engaging in genocide denial and historic revisionism, concerning the treatment of Indigenous people.[45] Prominent Australian politicians have refused to acknowledge the genocide.[46][47]

Azerbaijan

[edit]
See also:Falsification of history in Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan and Turkey are among two countries which officially deny theArmenian Genocide and glorify previous genocidal acts against Armenians.[48] Eldad Aharon, foreign policy analyst, states that Turkey'sdenial of the Armenian Genocide is "fundamental to Azerbaijan's national identity," reinforcing their solidarity within the "one nation, two states" framework.[49]Vicken Cheterian states that the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan is deeply influenced by the denial of the Armenian Genocide.[50] Human rights advocates have also criticized Azerbaijan for denyingcontemporary violence against Armenians.[51][52][53]

Arsène Saparov, Caucasus expert, states that "the persistent Azerbaijani policy of denial of the Armenian presence and cultural heritage in the Caucasus...has been institutionalized since Ilham Aliyev became president."[54] Following Nagorno-Karabakh's incorporation into Azerbaijan after a military offensive, the Azerbaijani government has undertaken a campaign of Turkification and the destruction of Armenian cultural sites, which aims at denying Armenians' historical presence and justifying their expulsion.[55][56][57][4] Roxanne Makasdjian, executive director of The Genocide Education Project, has stated that "Turkey and Azerbaijan collaborate in a policy of denying the Armenian genocide" in order to erase Armenia and "pave the way for a large ‘Pan-Turkic’ bloc'."[56]

Henry Theriault states that in Turkish and Azeri society denial coexists with the celebration of genocidal acts because there is no accountability: “in such situations, denial is inverted into celebratory or invective declaration...Thus, Turkey’s president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s supporters can make explicit statements about completing the genocide of 1915 to eliminate all Armenians, referred to...by Erdoğan as 'leftovers of the sword[s]' that were swung one hundred five years ago...”[48]

Canada

[edit]
This section is an excerpt fromCanadian genocide of Indigenous peoples § Denialism.[edit]

Despite decades of recognition and acknowledgmentsdenialism claims is a factor within Canadian society.[58][59] In 2022,Gregory Stanton, former president of theInternational Association of Genocide Scholars, issued a report stating Canada is in the "denial stage" of theten stages of genocide.[60]

OnNational Truth and Reconciliation Day in 2023, prime ministerJustin Trudeau stating that denialism was on the rise after disputes regarding the conclusiveness of the evidence ofIndian residential schools gravesite discoveries.[61][62][63] Federal Justice MinisterDavid Lametti said in 2023 that he was open to outlawing residential school denialism.[62]

Kimberly Murray from the Office of the Independent Special Interlocutor, released a report in 2023 starting;

Some still deny that children suffered physical, sexual, psychological, cultural, and spiritual abuses, despite the TRC’s indisputable evidence to the contrary. Others try to deny and minimize the destructive impacts of the Indian Residential Schools. They believe Canada’s historical myth that the nation has treated Indigenous Peoples with benevolence and generosity is true.[64]

The report prompted Leah Gazan, anNDP Member of Parliament, to introduced Bill C-413 in 2024 that would ban residential school denialism.[65][66] However, legal scholars have previously asserted that a bill of this nature probably would not pass a constitutional challenge under the Canadian Charter.[67]

Croatia

[edit]
This section is an excerpt fromDenial of the genocide of Serbs in the Independent State of Croatia § Far-right politics in Croatia.[edit]
Croatia's far-right often advocates the false theory that Jasenovac was a "labour camp" where mass murder did not take place.[68] Some rights activists say that distortion of World War II crimes exist in Croatia and it was especially prevalent during the 1990s war whenanti-Serb sentiment was high.[69] One prominent promoter of this is the far-right NGO "The Society for Research of the Threefold Jasenovac Camp". Its members include journalistIgor Vukić and academicJosip Pečarić who have written books promoting this theory.[70] The Ideas promoted by its members have been amplified by mainstream media interviews and book tours in 2019.[70] The last book, "The Jasenovac Lie Revealed" written by Vukić, prompted the Simon Wiesenthal Center to urge Croatian authorities to ban such works, noting that they "would immediately be banned in Germany and Austria and rightfully so".[71][72] When asked if the society engaged in genocide denial, Vukić responded by saying "When it’s about genocide, it is often linked to Serbs. If it’s about that, we do deny it".[69]Menachem Z. Rosensaft, the general counsel of theWorld Jewish Congress, condemned the affirmative column about Vukić's book written byMilan Ivkošić in theVečernji list, emphasizing that “there are horrific realities of history that must not be questioned, distorted or denied by anyone”.[73]

Israel

[edit]
See also:Gaza genocide denial

Israel's government has repeatedly denied and justified theGaza genocide.[74][75]Genocide Watch asserts that Israel employs all twelve genocidal denialist tactics documented byCharny — including as falsely minimizing statistics on civilian deaths, attacking critics, denying intent, dehumanizing Palestinians, attributing casualties to mistakes or ancient enmity, invoking legalistic defenses, and blaming victims.[76][77]

Japan

[edit]
See also:Nanjing Massacre denial andJapanese history textbook controversies

In Japan, interpretation of theNanjing Massacre is reflected upon the notions of "pride, honor and shame". Takashi Yoshida describes the Japanese debate over the Nanjing Massacre as "crystalliz[ing] a much larger conflict over what should constitute the ideal perception of the nation: Japan, as a nation, acknowledges its past and apologizes for its wartime wrongdoings; or ... stands firm against foreign pressures and teaches Japanese youth about the benevolent and courageous martyrs who fought a just war to save Asia from Western aggression."[78] In some nationalist circles in Japan, speaking of a large-scale massacre at Nanjing is regarded as"'Japan bashing' (in the case of foreigners) or 'self-flagellation' (in the case of Japanese)".[79] This means that most Japanese youth are oblivious of the massacre because this dark history is not taught in Japanese schools, and the continued worship of Japanese war criminals enshrined in theYasukuni Shrine by mainstream politicians in Japan.

Pakistan

[edit]

TheGovernment of Pakistan continues to deny thatBangladesh genocide took place during theBangladesh Liberation War of 1971. They typically accuse Pakistani reporters (such asAnthony Mascarenhas), who reported on the genocide, of being "enemy agents".[80] According to Donald W. Beachler, professor ofpolitical science atIthaca College:[81]

The government of Pakistan explicitly denied that there was genocide. By their refusal to characterise the mass-killings as genocide or to condemn and restrain the Pakistani government, the US and Chinese governments implied that they did not consider it so.

Similarly, in the wake of the2013 Shahbag protests against war criminals who were complicit in the genocide, English journalistPhilip Hensher wrote:[82]

The genocide is still too little known about in the West. It is, moreover, the subject of shocking degrees of denial among partisan polemicists and manipulative historians.

Russia

[edit]
See also:Holodomor denial

Russia denies theCircassian genocide, instead describing the events as amass migration (Russian:Черкесское мухаджирство,romanizedCherkesskoye mukhadzhirstvo,lit.'Circassian migrationism'.[83][84][85] In 2009, thePresidential Commission of the Russian Federation to Counter Attempts to Falsify History to the Detriment of Russia’s Interests denied the genocide alongside other crimes.[86]

Serbia

[edit]
Further information:Srebrenica massacre andBosnian genocide denial

According toSonja Biserko, president of theHelsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia, and Edina Becirevic, the faculty of criminology and security studies of theUniversity of Sarajevo:

Denial of theSrebrenica genocide takes many forms [in Serbia]. The methods range from the brutal to the deceitful. Denial is present most strongly in political discourse, in the media, in the sphere of law, and in the educational system.[87]

Turkey

[edit]
Main article:Armenian genocide denial
Iğdır Genocide Memorial and Museum

TheGovernment of Turkey has longdenied that theArmenian genocide was a genocide.[88] According to historian Akçam, "Turkish denialism [of the genocide] is perhaps the most successful example of how the well-organised, deliberate, and systematic spreading of falsehoods can play an important role in the field of public debate" and that "fact-based truths have been discredited and relegated to the status of mere opinion".[15] Turkey acknowledges that many Armenians residing in the former Ottoman Empire were killed in conflicts with Ottoman forces during World War I, but disputes that the killings were systematic and amounted to genocide. Measures recognising the Armenian genocide languished in the US Congress for decades despite condemnation by genocide scholars,[89] and many US presidents refrained from labeling it such due to worries about souring relations with Turkey and intensive lobbying by Ankara.[90] During theDarfur genocide, Recep Tayyip Erdogan claimed that there was no genocide taking place in Darfur as such a thing would be against Islam.[91]

United States

[edit]
See also:Denial of atrocities against Indigenous peoples § North America

The government of the United States has been accused of denial of the genocide of its Indigenous peoples[92] by academics such as Benjamin Madley,[93]David Stannard[94] andNoam Chomsky.[95]

Law

[edit]

TheEuropean Commission proposed aEuropean Union–wide anti-racism law in 2001, which included an offence of genocide denial, but European Union states failed to agree on the balance between prohibiting racism and freedom of expression. After six years of debating, a watered down compromise was reached in 2007 which gave EU states freedom to implement the legislation as they saw fit.[96][97][98]

In 2022, theUnited Nations Office on Genocide Prevention and the Responsibility to Protect issued a policy paper associating genocide denial withhate speech, specifically when directed to specific identifiable groups. The report gives policy recommendations for states and UN officials in the matter of denial.[99]

Effects

[edit]
This article'stone or style may not reflect theencyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia. See Wikipedia'sguide to writing better articles for suggestions.(February 2020) (Learn how and when to remove this message)

Genocide denial has an impact on both victim and perpetrator groups. Denial of a genocide affects relations between the victim and perpetrator groups or their respective countries, prevents personal victims of the genocide from seeking closure, and adversely affects political decisions on both sides. It can cause fear in the victims to express their cultural identity, retaliation from both parties, and hamper the democratic development of societies.

Effects on personal victims of the genocide

While confrontation of the committed atrocities can be a tough process in which the victim feels humiliated again by reliving the traumatic past,[100] it still has a benign therapeutic effect, helping both victim and perpetrator groups to come to terms with the past.[101] From a therapeutic point of view, letting the victim confront the past atrocity and its related painful memories is one way to reach a closure and to understand that the harm has occurred in the past.[102] This also helps the memories to enter the shared narrative of the society, thereby becoming a common ground on which the society can make future decisions on, in political and cultural matters.[103]

Denying recognition, in contrast, has a negative effect, furthervictimising the victim which will feel not only wronged by the perpetrator but also by being denied recognition of the occurred wrongdoing. Denial also has a pivotal role in shaping the norms of a society since the omission of any committed errors, and thereby the lack of condemnation and punishment of the committed wrongs, risks normalising similar actions, increasing the society's tolerance for future occurrences of similar errors.[104]

According to sociologist Daniel Feierstein, the genocide perpetrator implements a process of transforming the identity of any survivors and erasing the memory of the existence of the victim group.[105]

Societal effects of genocide denial

Bhargava notes that "[m]ost calls to forget disguise the attempt to prevent victims from publicly remembering in the fear that 'there is a dragon living on the patio and we better not provoke it.'"[106] In other words, while societally "forgetting" an atrocity can on the surface be beneficial to the harmony of society, it further victimizes the target group for fear of future, similar action, and is directly detrimental to the sociocultural development of the victim group.

On the other hand, there are cases where "forgetting" atrocities is the most politically expedient or stable option. This is found in some states which have recently come out of minority rule, where the perpetrator group still controls most strategic resources and institutions, such as South Africa.[107] This was, among others, one of the main reasons for granting amnesty in exchange for confessing to committed errors during the transitional period in South Africa. However, the society at large and the victims in particular will perceive this kind of trade-offs as "morally suspect,"[108] and may question its sustainability. Thus, a common refrain in regard to the Final Report (1998) by South Africa'sTruth and Reconciliation Commission was "We've heard the truth. There is even talk about reconciliation. But where's the justice?"[109]

Effects on democratic development

The denial has thereby a direct negative impact on the development of a society, often by undermining its laws and the issue of justice, but also the level of democracy itself.[110] If democracy is meant to be built on the rule of law and justice, upheld and safeguarded by state institutions, then surely the omission of legal consequences and justice would potentially undermine the democracy.[111] What is more dangerous from a historical point of view is that such a default would imply the subsequent loss of the meaning of these events to future generations, a loss which is resembled to "losing a moral compass."[112] The society becomes susceptible to similar wrongdoings in the absence of proper handling of preceding occasions.[113] Nonetheless, denial, especially immediately after the committed wrongdoings, is rather the rule than the exception and naturally almost exclusively done by the perpetrator to escape responsibility.

Implicit denial of genocide

While some societies or governments openly deny genocide, in some other cases, e.g. in the case of the "Comfort women" and the role of the Japanese State, the denial is more implicit. This was evident in how an overwhelmingly majority of the surviving victims refused to accept a monetary compensation since the Japanese government still refused to admit its own responsibility (the monetary compensation was paid through a private fund rather than by the state, a decision perceived by the victims about state's refusal to assume any direct responsibility).[114] This can have the same effects on societies as outright denial. For example, atrocity denial and self-victimisation in Japanese historical textbooks has caused much diplomatic tension between Japan and neighbouring victim states, such as Korea and China, and bolstered domestic conservative or nationalist forces.[115]

Turkey and Armenian genocide denial

This section maylendundue weight to certain ideas, incidents, or controversies. Pleasehelp improve it by rewriting it tocreate a more balanced presentation. Discuss andresolve this issue before removing this message.(April 2023)

The Turkish state'sArmenian genocide denial has had far-reaching effects on the Turkish society throughout its history in regard to both ethnic minorities, especially the Kurds, but political opposition in general.[116] The denial also affects Turks, in that there is a lack of recognition of Turks and Ottoman officials whoattempted to stop the genocide. This lack of recognition of the various actors at play in Turkey could[weasel words] result in a rather homogeneous perception of the nation in question, thus making Armenians (but also third parties) project the perpetrating role onto the entire Turkish society and nation, causing further racial strife and aggravating the prospects of future reconciliation.[117] For example, Armenian terrorist groups (e.g.ASALA andJCAG) committed terrorist acts during 1970's and 1980's as a direct result of the Turkish state denial of the genocide.[104]

Prevention

[edit]

Denial may be reduced by works of history, preservation of archives, documentation of records, investigation panels, search for missing persons, commemorations, official state apologies, development of truth commissions, educational programs, monuments, and museums. According to Johnathan Sisson, the society has the right to know the truth about historical events and facts, and the circumstances that led to massive or systematic human rights violations. He says that the state has the obligation to secure records and other evidence to prevent revisionist arguments.[118] Genocide scholar Gregory Stanton suggests that prosecution can be a deterrent.[119]

The English colonists in North America had no doubts about what they were doing.Revolutionary War hero GeneralHenry Knox, the first Secretary of War in the newly liberated American colonies, described "the utter extirpation of all the Indians in most populous parts of the Union" by means "more destructive to the Indian natives than the conduct of the conquerors of Mexico and Peru", which would have been no small achievement. In his later years, PresidentJohn Quincy Adams recognized the fate of "that hapless race of native Americans, which we are exterminating with such merciless and perfidious cruelty, [to be] among the heinous sins of this nation, for which I believe God will one day bring [it] to judgement".

(p. 11) It is based on the inalienable right on the part of society at large to know the truth about past events and the circumstances that led to the perpetration of massive or systematic human rights violations, in order to prevent their recurrence in the future. In addition, it involves an obligation on the part of the State to undertake measures, such as securing archives and other evidence, to preserve collective memory from extinction and so to guard against the development of revisionist arguments. (p. 12) These involve symbolic acts, such as an annual homage to the victims, the establishment of monuments and museums, or the recognition by the State of its responsibility in the form of a public apology, that discharge the duty of remembrance and help to restore victims' dignity. Additional measures in this regard foresee the inclusion of an accurate account of the violations that occurred in public educational materials at all levels. (p. 13) Right to know: Truth commissions, Investigation panels, Documentation, Archives, History books & Missing persons.(pp15)
  119. ^Stanton 2020: "The best response to denial is punishment by an international tribunal or national courts. There the evidence can be heard, and the perpetrators punished.... When possible, local proceedings should provide forums for hearings of the evidence against perpetrators who were not the main leaders and planners of a genocide, with opportunities for restitution and reconciliation. The Rwandan gaçaça trials are one example. Justice should be accompanied by education in schools and the media about the facts of a genocide, the suffering it caused its victims, the motivations of its perpetrators, and the need for restoration of the rights of its victims."
