92 uL stration laws dealing with state administration in Albania CONCLUSION As we have mentioned in the introduction part, the final objective of this paper was to give a contribution in understanding why lustration laws taken in Albania to deal with state administration have failed to be successful in producing the intended purposes. To reach this objective, we operated with a particular three-step method. Thus, firstly, we identified lustration laws taken in Albania to deal with the state administration, i.e., law nr. 8043, dated 30 November 1995, law nr. 10034, dated 22.12.2008, and the law nr.45 / 2015, dated 30.04.2015. Secondly, we perceived the intended purposes of these above-mentioned laws, i.e., to prevent who served as a leader in the political structures of the Party of Labor, etc., to be part of Albanian political life or state apparatus; to control the purity of the image of any elected public official or appointed person, regarding his participation in the policy-making process or engagement in the enforcement structures of the proletarian dictatorship, as well as in the former security structures of the State for the period 29 November 1944 to 8 December 1990, or, to determine rules and procedures to enable any person concerned to exercise his or her right to information on former State Security documents, through a democratic and transparent process, also to protect the individual’s personality, and national unity and reconciliation. Thus, we concluded the lustration of state administration was/ is not their exclusive intended purpose. These steps, as table below shows, are closed by ranking these lustration laws in achieved their purposes, partially achieved their purposes, and not achieved their purposes infra. While as the third step was finding reasons why these laws have failed to achieve successfully their purpose concerning the lustration of state administration. On this account, we found that because of how these lustration laws were designed and implemented, they did not achieve their purpose. Table three shows the specific reasons for each law.
