Join us for a talk with Bernard Duhaime, UN Special Rapporteur on truth, justice, reparation, and guarantees of non-recurrence, on his report to the UN Human Rights Council examining the global rise of denialism and historical revisionism. The discussion will explore how the distortion of historical records of grave human rights abuses undermines transitional justice, silences survivors, and threatens democratic institutions, as well as legal approaches to protecting historical memory while respecting freedom of expression.
