Super quick when compared to the laws past condemning the communist
crimes of mass murder. Which have not been
past, and willl never likely to be.

"The definition of genocide will be that set at the Nuremberg trials
and by the International Criminal Court, meaning it will include Nazi
crimes and those in Rwanda and Yugoslavia but not the Armenian
genocide - a definition disputed by Turkey.

Poland, Slovenia and the Baltic states lobbied hard for - but failed
to win - the inclusion of a crime of denying, condoning or
trivialising atrocities committed in the name of Joseph Stalin."

So the EU believe that mass murder is fine, so long as it's not of a
genocidel, or racist, nature.

Again no mention of the the crimes of mass muder commited by
