The
reason
for
the
Disclosure
Act
is
that
Estonia
lacked
a
complete
overview
of
the
persons
who
were
in
the
service
of
the
security
and
intelligence
authorities
of
the
former
USSR
,
some
of
whom
are
Estonian
citizens
.
In
the
Act
’s
explanatory
memorandum
,
it
is
noted
that
it
is
difficult
to
be
convinced
of
their
current
loyalty
towards
the
Estonian
State
,
if
only
because
they
have
so
far
refused
to
provide
exhaustive
information
about
their
activities
.
Persons
who
are
not
criminals
and
are
thus
not
subject
to
criminal
liability
may
turn
into
criminals
if
contacts
with
them
are
renewed
or
they
are
re
-
recruited
.
The
Republic
of
Estonia
should
try
to
prevent
this
from
happening
,
on
the
one
hand
,
by
“
exerting
pressure
”
on
these
individuals
through
the
requirement
of
disclosure
and
,
on
the
other
hand
,
by
enabling
them
to
prevent
public
disclosure
by
making
a
confession
.
The
purpose
of
the
legislation
was
not
so
much
to
punish
the
suspects
,
but
to
“
ensure
sufficient
national
supervision
”
of
them[2
