The Swedish government has unanimously approved a constitutional amendment that will criminalise Holocaust denial, according to the Times of Israel. The ban will come into force on 1 January 2027.

Yad Vashem has hailed the decision as an ‘important step’ in strengthening legal protections against Holocaust denial in Europe. The constitutional amendment represents one of the most robust legislative responses to Holocaust denial in the European Union.

This development reflects a broader European commitment to combating historical revisionism and protecting the memory of Holocaust victims through enforceable criminal law.
