Abstract
The introduction of the crime of negationism into domestic order means to legitimatize the State to exercise its power to protect some interests (like the public order or the historical memory). But the issue is problematic. Taking into account the conduct of the States and the direction in which international law is developing (in particular through the “balancing methodology” adopted by the Constitutional Courts and by the international Courts or Committees on human rights) there are different reasons against this approach.
