Abstract: We prove that any free cocycle action of a countable amenable group $Gamma$ on any II${}_1$ factor $N$ can be perturbed by inner automorphisms to a genuine action. This {em vanishing cohomology} property, that we call $mathcalVmathcalC$, is also closed to free products with amalgamation over finite groups. But beyond this no other examples of $mathcalVmathcalC$-groups are known. In turn, by considering special cocycle actions $GammacurvearrowrightN$ in the case $N$ is the hyperfinite II${}_1$ factor $R$, respectively the free group factor $N=L(Bbb{F}_{i}nfty)$, we exclude many groups from being $mathcalVmathcalC$. We also show that any free action $GammacurvearrowrightR$ gives rise to a free cocycle $Gamma$-action on the II${}_1$ factor $R^{\prime }cap{R}^{o}mega$ whose vanishing cohomology is equivalent to Connes' Approximate Embedding property for the II${}_1$ factor $RtimesGamma$.
