Central Registry of State Judicial Administrations

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Central Registry of State Judicial Administrations ("Zentrale Erfassungsstelle der Landesjustizverwaltungen") in Salzgitter was established in November 1961. Its function was to verify human rights violations by the government of the German Democratic Republic (homicide at the inner German border, political persecution, torture and maltreatment, etc.). In the long run the information should have led to the initiation of criminal proceedings in the case of a reunification. The organization was financed by all western German States. It was dissolved in 1992 after the German reunification.
