The Cour de cassation ruled on a question regarding the constitutionality of a French law that criminalizes the denial of crimes against humanity, specifically those defined under the statute of the International Military Tribunal of 1945 in Art. 24 bis loi sur la liberté de la presse – The court concluded that the law does not present a serious constitutional issue because it is based on internationally and nationally recognized standards and definitions, which are appropriately incorporated into domestic law – Consequently, the court decided not to refer the question to the Constitutional Council for further review, effectively upholding the law's compatibility with constitutional principles of freedom of expression and the legality of legal definitions.   Art. 24 bis Loi du 29 juillet 1881 sur la liberté de la presse
