Dr. Paweł Ukielski, Deputy President of the Institute of National Remembrance, represented IPN at the commemoration of European Day of Remembrance for Victims of Totalitarian Regimes, which this year was organized by the Estonian Ministry of Justice and the Estonian Institute of Human Rights in Tallinn. The event was attended by representatives of institutions which deal with the Europe's difficult past and its legacy, representatives of Ministries of Justice of European countries, witnesses and victims of totalitarianism and other stakeholders.

After a ceremony on Freedom Square, the conference „The Criminal Legacy of Communism and Nazism” took place at the Museum of Occupations. The Ministries of Justice from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Georgia adopted a joint statement condemning the use of symbols of totalitarianism and stressing the need of public access to archives containing information about the crimes. Moreover, they emphasized the need to investigate possibilities of supranational cooperation aimed at establishing a special institution which would investigate totalitarian (esp. Communist) crimes.
