%X Pendant vingt-cinq ans, le n¨¦gationniste Robert Faurisson s¡¯est pr¨¦valu de la maladroite motivation d¡¯un arr¨ºt rendu par la cour d¡¯appel de Paris en 1983. Il revendiquait ¨¤ tort cet arr¨ºt comme une cons¨¦cration du s¨¦rieux de ses th¨¨ses, et poursuivait en l¡¯invoquant ceux qui le d¨¦crivaient comme un faussaire de l¡¯histoire. De la sorte, il a permis ¨¤ la jurisprudence ult¨¦rieure de rem¨¦dier ¨¤ l¡¯ambigu t¨¦ de cet arr¨ºt. La pr¨¦sente ¨¦tude retrace l¡¯histoire de la d¨¦monstration progressive de l¡¯inad¨¦quation de l¡¯interpr¨¦tation faurissonienne de l¡¯arr¨ºt, qui culmina en 2007 dans le jugement d¨¦boutant Faurisson de sa plainte en diffamation contre Robert Badinter. During twenty-five years, Holocaust denier Robert Faurisson boasted of a 1983 decision by the Court of Appeal of Paris that, he alleged, paid tribute to his work and described it as scientific. This erroneous interpretation of the decision led him to invoke it while suing the numerous individuals who described him as a falsifier of history. This gave courts the opportunity to correct the clumsy grounds put forward in the 1983 decision and to expose the falsity of Faurisson¡¯s reading of it. This process reached its climax in the libel judgment in favour of former lawyer and Minister of Justice Robert Badinter. This article recounts this story.
