National Council for the Study of the Archives of the Securitate
The National Council for the Study of the Securitate Archives (also Provincial Council for the Study of the Securitate Archives , Romanian: Consiliul Național pentru Studierea Arhivelor Securității (CNSAS)) is a Romanian authority that was first established by law on 7 December 1999 to process files the Securitate, which existed until 1990 .
Even after the creation of the new authority, the files were initially under the supervision of the Romanian intelligence service and documents were only released upon request. After initial disputes over the question of whether individual documents were handed over in full, President Emil Constantinescu decided that in future the Supreme Council for National Defense should decide in the event of a dispute . On December 29, 2006, the transfer of all files, around 1.6 million, to the CNSAS was completed.
The Romanian Constitutional Court ruled in 2008 that the law creating the CNSAS is unconstitutional. The government passed a new law on March 5, 2008, with the restriction that the CNSAS is no longer allowed to make legally binding statements about the collaboration of politicians, judges, high officials and other public figures . This task has been incumbent on the courts since 2008.
Gheorghe Onișoru was head of CNSAS from 2000 to 2006 ; Dragoș Petrescu is his successor .
