As
to
the
substantive
safeguards
offered
by
the
legislation
,
we
note
that
pursuant
to
the
Disclosure
Act
,
the
period
of
service
or
collaboration
of
the
persons
concerned
and
the
capacity
in
which
they
were
involved
in
the
activities
of
the
former
security
organisations
were
made
public
.
We
consider
that
publication
of
these
aspects
was
in
line
with
the
aim
of
consolidation
of
an
open
society
and
the
dissemination
of
information
about
the
functioning
of
totalitarian
regimes
,
and
in
this
spirit
it
also
shed
light
on
the
degree
and
level
of
the
collaboration
of
the
persons
concerned
.
Being
employed
in
the
former
security
organisations
in
the
era
of
mass
repressions
,
spending
one
’s
whole
career
in
these
institutions
or
performing
important
functions
undoubtedly
carried
a
different
connotation
from
short
-
term
employment
in
a
less
important
function
.
In
the
same
vein
,
employment
by
the
former
security
organisations
gave
rise
to
a
different
perception
in
society
as
compared
to
secret
collaboration
with
them
.
The
availability
of
such
official
and
verified
information
allowed
the
members
of
society
to
make
an
informed
assessment
of
the
degree
and
level
of
a
specific
individual
’s
past
involvement
in
the
security
services
.
