01 / DOCUMENTED CORE
Start with what the record can carry.
The Lund Commission was appointed by the Norwegian Parliament in 1994 to investigate allegations of illegal surveillance of Norwegian citizens after 1945.
Its 1996 report documented that parts of surveillance by Norway’s secret services had been unlawful. It is one of the archive’s strongest reference points for separating verified covert state activity from broader theories.
02 / CASE RECORD
What is established.
It investigated the Police Surveillance Service, military intelligence and military security services.
The commission concluded that parts of the surveillance activity had been illegal.
The report also examined links between secret services and political parties, organisations and institutions.
