In British and American law, as well as other legislative systems based thereon, libel and slander are two forms of defamation (of character). Defamation is defined to be the tort or delict of "...publication of a false statement of fact, made with the requisite state of mind, that causes injury"http://writ.news.findlaw.com/hilden/20060117.html.
"Defamation" is the general term used internationally, and is used in this article where it is not necessary to distinguish between "libel" and "slander". Libel is defamation that is published, but can also happen in other forms, such as effigy, a motion picture, or a statue; slander refers to any verbal, unpublished, defamation.
