ROMANIA
The National Council for the Study of Securitate Archives (Consiliul Naţional pentru Studierea Arhivelor Securităţii – CNSAS) is the official autonomous public authority in Romania, placed under the control of the Romanian Parliament, which administers the archives of the former communist secret police, the Securitate.
CNSAS was established in the year 2000, after prolonged and heated debates that involved the political, as well as the civil society in post-communist Romania.
