Bosnia Imposes Genocide Denial Ban
Nation’s top international official imposes amendments to ban denial of genocide, glorification of war criminals. The High Representative Bosnia and Herzegovina imposed amendments on Friday to the country s criminal code to ban the denial of genocide and the glorification of war criminals.
Valentin Inzko used his power to impose an amendment to outlaw the public denial, condoning, trivialization or justification of genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes when it is done in a way that is likely to incite to violence or hatred.
Inzko, whose mandate will expire at the end of July, said in a message published on the website of the Office of the High Representative of Bosnia and Herzegovina (OHR), that the long-awaited law on the punishment of genocide denial will take effect temporarily until a vote in the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina takes place.
