COMMUNIST REPRESSION AND TRANSITIONAL JUSTICE IN
SLOVENIA </ref>
*Abuse of national sentiment to carry out racial and class revolutionary projects;
*Cult of a great leader, who permits his fanatics to murder, steal and lie;
*Dictatorship of one party;
*Militarisation of society, police state – almighty secret political police;
*Collectivism, subjection of the citizen to the totalitarian state;
*State terrorism with systematic abuses of basic human rights;
*Aggressive assumption of power and struggle for territory.
'''(b)''' Mass killings without court trials:
“The Main Headquarters of the [[Yugoslav Army]] had already called attention to respecting the ''Geneva Convention'' on 3rd of May in its order on the treatment of prisoners of war. However, despite this injunction, both prisoners of war and civilians were killed on mass at the end of May and in the first half of June 1945 in Slovenia. Tito’s telegram on respecting the Geneva Convention was later revoked; however, it could only be revoked by the person who issued it in the first place, i.e. Tito himself.<ref> [http://www.mp.gov.si/fileadmin/mp.gov.si/pageuploads/2005/PDF/publikacije/Crimes_committed_by_Totalitarian_Regimes.pdf European Commission/Slovenian Presidency of the-EU 2008] Ref: Milko Mikola Crimes Committed by Totalitarian Regimes. Page 163.</ref>
The post-war killings without a trial were on a massive scale and were executed in 1945 and 1946. Hidden graves that numbered 581, were found on the territory of [[Slovenia]].
