Change language:
Tallinn (MTI) – Hungary supports the Tallinn declaration, which calls for establishing an institution to investigate and prosecute crimes committed by the Communist regimes, the Hungarian state secretary of justice said on Sunday.
Robert Repassy took part in a conference marking the European Day of Remembrance for Victims of Stalinism and Nazism and attended by representatives of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Georgia, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland and Portugal.
Signatories to the document expressed support for standing up together against totalitarian regimes, irrespective of the ideological basis they rest on or the form they take, Repassy told MTI over the phone.
They declared that the victims of totalitarian crimes have the right to justice, noting that the practice of investigating and prosecuting the crimes committed by the Communist regimes has been insufficient and inconsistent in certain countries, he said.
