In this study of the mechanisms of transitional justice in Poland,
Frances Millard asks: How does society come to terms with its past?
How should it punish the perpetrators of oppression and acknowledge
its victims? In the former communist countries of Central and
Eastern Europe the task of answering these questions came down to
the need to eliminate the communist parties' hold over the state,
the economy and society in order to move towards democracy. Millard
argues that the key step in achieving this was uncovering the truth
about the previous regime's past, prosecuting the perpetrators of
past crimes and providing compensation and restitution for its
victims. Through the specific case of Poland, Millard provides a
comprehensive assessment of the mechanisms and institutions used to
achieve this, such as lustration, law enforcement through a
Constitutional Tribunal and institutions dedicated to dealing with
the past such as the Institute of National Remembrance. Crucially,
these processes have assumed new significance in recent years after
the Law and Justice Party came to power in 2015, using transitional
justice as a tool of political control which has enabled the
restructuring of Polish democracy.
