Analysing, from the standpoint of legal overcoming of the past, both the actions of the new government undertaken in the first year after October 2000, and the things this government has not initiated or even announced, one does not get the impression that such actions and failures to act are based on a well-perceived and rounded concept of policy regarding the legal overcoming of the past, whether such policy be to forget or to remember. At any rate, no such concept has been made public, and hence the way in which the government had (if so!) set the course between the „Scylla of memory and Charybdis of oblivion" is a not a public matter. Members of the present government have failed to announce an overall legal overcoming of the past in the above-mentioned published programme from the opposition phase before October 2000. What happened then - a combination of armed peoples' revolution and some elements of coupe d'etat (arrangements with important members of police and armed forces), its second part in particular, contributes to certain inconsistencies and the porous nature of the subsequent policy towards the past.

Lithuanians can boast about a significant contribution to the development of the military criminal code of the Republic of Poland I. The ius specjale in question, it being definitely the military law, represents some common regularities governing the common law of the Republic of Both Nations. What needs to be emphasized is Lithuanians’ constant attempts at maintaining their own legal system, the example of which are not only Lithuanian Statute or extortion the nomination of a separate deputation preparing law codification, but also a constant attempt at maintaining independence also in a military law from the Great Sejm. The representatives of the Radziwiłł family did a lot in this respect, Krzysztof and Janusz among others, thanks to whom Lithuania possessed military laws different from the crown ones, even after publishing Artykuły hetmańskie by the Sejm in 1609, and ascribing a value of the act perpetually biding to them. Lithuanians did not only continue to issue their own military acts, but also made an attempt to create a separate military codification known as Artykuły późniejsze wojskowe different from the Crown one, which clearly proves the willingness to maintain independence also in this respect. The comparative research in question showed mutual influences of military laws biding in the Crown and Lithuania. What is worth emphasizing is the fact that the so called Artykuły słuckie by Hieronim Radziwiłł are one of the steps taken in maintaining independence and continuity of a military law in Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

Their conclusions were only partially realized. None of the prosecutors indicated in the committee reports was brought to court between 1956 and 1958.
