The Estonian International Commission for Investigation of Crimes Against Humanity (also known as the History Commission or Max Jakobson Commission) is the commission established by President of Estonia Lennart Meri in October 1998 to investigate crimes against humanity committed in Estonia or against its citizens during the Soviet and German occupation, such as Soviet deportations from Estonia and the Holocaust in Estonia. It held its first session in Tallinn in January 1999. Finnish diplomat Max Jakobson was appointed chairman of the commission. For purposes of independence (no conflict of interest), there are no Estonian citizens among its members. Research of the Commission has been relied on by the European Court of Human Rights, for example in its decision to not grant certiorari to review a complaint by August Kolk and Pyotr Kislyy, who had been convicted of crimes against humanity due to their roles in the Soviet deportations from Estonia.〔Eesti Päevaleht 27 May 2008: (Max Jakobsoni komisjon lõpetab uurimise ) by Anneli Ammas〕 The Commission was closed in 2007 and was succeeded by the Estonian Institute of Historical Memory. == Members == * Max Jakobson, Chairman * Dr. Uffe Ellemann-Jensen (President of the European Liberal Party, former Foreign Minister of Denmark) * Dr. Paul A.
