Act on Illegality of the Communist Regime and on Resistance Against It

Memorial to the Victims of Communism in Prague

The Act on Illegality of the Communist Regime and on Resistance Against It (Czech: Zákon o protiprávnosti komunistického režimu a o odporu proti němu, zákon č. 198/1993 Sb.) is an act passed on July 9, 1993 in the Parliament of the Czech Republic. This act declared the Communist regime in Czechoslovakia (February 25, 1948 – November 17, 1989) as illegal and the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia as a criminal organisation. Most of the act is formulated as a resolution.[1]

The resolution made the Czech Republic the first former Eastern Bloc country or successor state to officially condemn its Communist regime.
