Greenland says findings on genocide allegation not final

Greenland's justice minister stated that the government cannot definitively determine whether genocide was committed against the Inuit community following the examination of historical forced contraception policies in the 1960s and 1970s. The issue arose after two reports were published, a year after Denmark apologized for the treatment of Inuit women and girls in Greenland. These reports analyzed the implementation of intrauterine devices (IUDs) by Danish doctors, which affected thousands of Greenlandic women and significantly slowed population growth. While some experts concluded that human rights were violated, none definitively labeled the actions as genocide. A reconciliation commission is planned, and Denmark has introduced legislation to compensate affected individuals.
