A VERDICT OF THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND ITS IMPLICATIONS
Abstract
This article analyses the verdict of the European Court ofHuman Rights regarding the Perinçek v. Switzerland case. It firstlyoutlines why the case was filed, what Perinçek stated in his defense, andalso what Switzerland based its accusations on regarding Perinçek. It alsolists some ECtHR cases that bear resemblance to the Perinçek v.Switzerland case. It indicates that the Perinçek v. Switzerland case, andalso any legal case that is related to the Armenian genocide claims, arecarried out in the absence of a competent tribunal that came to a verdicton the nature of the events of 1915. As such, any attempt to persecuteindividuals who reject Armenian genocide claims are done so without thelegal backing of such an authoritative tribunal verdict. The articleconcludes by indicating that ECtHR’s verdict does mean that the courtrejects Armenian genocide claims, it simply removes itself from suchdiscussions and focuses solely on whether the curtailment of Perinçek’sfreedom of expression was justified or not. Based on this reasoning, thearticle states that the ECtHR found Switzerland’s argument for convictingPerinçek to be insufficient and unjustified
