DECLARATION 2012
Driven by a sincere effort to achieve legal redress for the crimes of communism and redeem the immense suffering that affected millions of citizens under totalitarian communist regimes, we request the legislative bodies of these countries and the authorities of the European Union to adopt effective legal norms that will allow just punishment of communist criminals and abolition of all benefits they still enjoy.
Initiative “Legal settlement of the crimes of communism“
The Declaration 2012 was adopted on 17 January, 2012 in the presence of Ambassadors (or their representatives) of European countries belonging to the former region of Soviet communist influence.
