![]() For this reason, the analysis of state legislation against Holocaust denial will be limited to Spain and France, two countries with particularly interesting case law concerning Holocaust denial (A). It was therefore decided that it would be more challenging to examine issues outside of this more predictable perspective. However, this paper seeks to tackle the question as to the justification of such legislation, and not the individual merits of each law. The inclusion and analysis of the relevant legislation in Germany and Austria would have been indispensable had this essay focussed solely on a comparison of laws banning Holocaust denial. Even though each individual law banning Holocaust denial is nationally distinct, they all bear common ground in terms of being an infringement to freedom of speech. Examining different laws banning Holocaust denial from an internationally comparative legal perspective will be an interesting and challenging task. There have been relatively few works focusing on the denial of the Holocaust from a purely legal perspective.
