Greenland says findings on genocide allegation not final
Experts examined the use of forced contraception on the Inuit community during the 1960s and 70s.
Greenland's justice minister has stated that the government cannot definitively determine whether genocide was committed against the Inuit community during forced contraception practices in the 1960s and 70s. Two reports released last year found that while rights of Inuit women were violated, genocide could not be conclusively established based solely on contraceptive practices.
The two reports produced by experts reached differing conclusions, with one finding no evidence of genocide and the other suggesting it could have been a possibility. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen apologized to affected women and promised cooperation with Greenland on handling the political process.
