Obviously, those with provable blood on their hands (such as many former Republican Guardsmen) should be punished, but wholescale lustration is to no one's benefit. Another dilemma lies in non-criminal sanctions, such as the practice of lustration in the Czech Republic. Against warnings from President Vaclav Havel and others not to "become like them" (referring to the political witch hunts of the old regime), parliament in 1991 passed a lustration law designed to cleanse state employment rolls of anyone who had collaborated with the Communist government, especially the secret police (StB). |
