Denial of the existence of crimes against humanity (Contestation de crimes contre l'humanité) – The Court of Appeal justified its decision by finding the defendant guilty of the offence of denying crimes against humanity, on the basis of several passages in his book "Les mythes fondateurs de la politique israélienne" ("The founding myths of Israeli politics") - Denying the existence of crimes against humanity falls within the scope of Article 24 bis of the Law of 29 July 1881, even if it is presented in disguised or dubious form or by insinuation - It is also characterised when, under the guise of seeking a supposed historical truth, it tends to deny the crimes against humanity committed by the Nazis against the Jewish community.
