Summary/Abstract: The author starts from the thesis that the legal overcoming of the past and establishing discontinuity with the ruling mechanism of the partisan state is a priority task of the newly established states in the territory of the former Yugoslavia. In that context, the rehabilitation of political convicts is one of the first steps of the democratic government after the removal of the authoritarian regime. It represents an important presumption for the political and moral recovery of the society which was for decades under the thumb of the authoritarian and partisan state and the condition for the establishment of a modern democratic society. Following that it is necessary to analyse the institution of rehabilitation of political convicts in the territory of former Yugoslavia: in Croatia, Slovenia, Macedonia and Serbia.
