Anyone who has been arbitrarily harmed in the territory of the present Free State of Saxony or as an inhabitant of

because of his same-sex orientation or in any other way shall be entitled to reparation in accordance with the law.

Article 117
[Coming to terms with the past]

Within the scope of its possibilities, the state contributes to reducing the causes of individual and societal failures in
the past, to mitigating the consequences of violated human dignity and to strengthening the ability to shape one's
own life in a self-determined and responsible manner.

Article 118
[Indictment of deputies and ministers]
(1) If there is an urgent suspicion that a member of the Landtag or state government, prior to his election or
appointment,
1. has violated the principles of humanity or the rule of law, in particular has violated the human rights guaranteed
in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights of December 19, 1966, or the fundamental rights
contained in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of December 10, 1948; or
2. worked for the former Ministry for State Security/Amt for National Security of the GDR, and therefore the
continued holding of a mandate or membership in the state government appears to be unacceptable, the
Landtag may request the Constitutional Court to initiate proceedings with the aim of depriving the person of
his or her mandate or office
1
2
(2) The motion to impeach must be made by at least one-third of the members of the Landtag. The decision to
impeach shall require a two-thirds majority, but more than half of the members of the Landtag, if at least two-thirds

1. has violated the principles of humanity or the rule of law, in particular has violated the human rights guaranteed
in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights of December 19, 1966, or the fundamental rights
contained in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of December 10, 1948; or
2. worked for the former Ministry for State Security/Amt for National Security of the GDR, and whose
employment in the public sector therefore appears unacceptable.
