April is Genocide Remembrance, Condemnation and Prevention Month in Canada
Denial of genocide, according to the scholars and the authorities of Holocaust and genocide, is the last stage of genocide, which always accompanies that gravest form of crimes against humanity and international law and it can last long after the genocide. Denial of genocide is a valid and reliable indicator, which suggests that the genocide is committed. Denial has different motives: ideological, strategic, socio-political and others, whereas the consequences for the victims are always tragic. Denial of genocide is a crime of genocide, which takes place in two stages: during the commission and after the commission. Denial aims to willfully and intentionally forges the facts, especially in relation to causes, objective and the character of war (insisting on a civil war instead of international armed conflict), and the nature of crime (insisting on “ethnic cleansing”, instead of genocide); equalizing genocide perpetrators and victims; intentionally misinform and deceive the domestic and international public; suggest the existence of several parties and their equal guilt and responsibility; evade responsibility for genocide; show the perpetrators as heroes, who allegedly fight for a just cause; encourage genocide; demonizes victims and show them as the perpetrators of crimes; conceal, minimizes, relativize the genocide, especially the fact on the number and the status of victims, while minimizing the planned and systematic massive and individual murders; maintain the genocidal ideology, politics, and practice.
April, mjesec borbe i osude genocida u Kanadi
Negiranje genocida je prema istraživanjima poznatih nauÄnih autoriteta holokausta i genocida, posljednja faza genocida, koja uvijek prati taj najteži oblik zloÄina protiv ÄovjeÄnosti i meÄ‘unarodnog prava i može trajati veoma dugo nakon izvršenog genocida. Negiranje genocida je valjan i pouzdan indikator koji ukazuje da je genocid izvršen. Negiranje ima razliÄite motive: ideološke, strateške i druge, pri Äemu su posljedice po žrtve uvijek tragiÄne. Negiranje genocida je zloÄin genocida, koji se odvija u dvije faze: tokom Äinjenja zloÄina i nakon izvršenja zloÄina. Negiranje ima za cilj da: svjesno i namjerno falsifikuje Äinjenice, posebno u vezi sa uzrocima, ciljevima i karakterom rata (insistiranje na graÄ‘anskom ratu, umjesto meÄ‘unarodnom oružanom sukobu), te prirodom zloÄina (insistiranje na “etniÄkom ÄišÄ‡enju”, umjesto genocidu); izjednaÄi izvršioce genocida i žrtve; namjerno dezinformiše i obmani domaću i meÄ‘unarodnu javnost; ukaže na postojanje više razliÄitih strana i njihovu podjednaku krivicu i odgovornost; izvršioci izbjegnu odgovornost za genocid; prikaže izvršioce kao heroje, koji se navodno bore za pravednu stvar, ohrabri izvršenje genocida; demonizira žrtve i prikaže ih kao izvršioce zloÄina; prikriva, minimizira i relativizira genocid, posebno Äinjenice o broju i statusu žrtava, pri Äemu se ublažavaju planska i sistematska masovna i pojedinaÄna ubistva; održi prisustvo genocidne ideologije, politike i prakse.
