The new edition of this standard work provides a complete account of criminal law responses to GDR-era injustices 30 years after the fall of the Berlin wall. It expands and deepens the conclusions of the first edition and incorporates all of the legal decisions and critical positions adopted since. It also considers the role of transitional justice in overcoming systemic injustices.
