In addition, some countries have laws against genocide justification but not genocide denial.
Several laws against genocide denial also forbid the justification of genocide. Įxamples of genocide justification include Turkish nationalists' claims in regard to the Armenian genocide, the Nazis' justifications behind the Holocaust, anti-Tutsi propaganda during the Rwandan genocide, Serbian nationalists' justifications for the Srebrenica massacre, and the Myanmar government's claims about the Rohingya genocide. Genocide is often camouflaged as military activity against combatants, and the distinction between denial and justification is often blurred. According to modern international criminal law, there can be no excuse for genocide. Perpetrators often claim that the genocide victims presented a serious threat, meaning that their killing was legitimate self-defense of a nation or state. Genocide justification is the claim that a genocide is morally excusable or necessary, in contrast to genocide denial, which rejects that genocide occurred.
