On April 22, Vladimir Petrovic, Professors Ungor Umit Ungor and Martijn Eickhoff, director of NIOD Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies, hosted a debate under the title Confronting Genocide Denial: What can we do? Our guests, Professor Iva Vukusic, Assaf Boundy and Sharin Nassiri presented different aspects of this phenomenon. This public debate, which generated a significant interest, came after a full day of expert workshopping at NIOD, with participation of CISI associates, Vladimir Petrovic and Novak Vuco, together with Professors Olivera Simic and Julien Zarafian, expressed the need to look at mass atrocities, as well as strategies of their denial in a comparative perspective.
In a subsequent public debate held at Spui25, genocide denial was also pinpointed as an old phenomenon, which thrives in the ne surrounding characterized by a disregard for international law, proliferates in a digital sphere and thereness to move from a fringe into the central political discourse of a number of countries. Together with the audience, we discussed different strategies of countering this dangerous trend.
