Lustration

Okay kiddo, did you ever do something wrong and got in trouble for it? And then, you promised to be good from that point on, right? That's sort of what lustration is like but on a bigger scale.

Think about grown-ups who did bad things a long time ago, like being part of a corrupt government or doing things that harmed other people. They might still be in important jobs or positions of power, but some people may not trust them because of their past actions.

So, to make things better, some countries will have a lustration process. It's like a big promise to be good, but it involves more than just saying sorry. Lustration usually includes a special investigation to find out who did bad things in the past and then makes sure they can't hold certain jobs or positions of power in the future.

It's like giving people a fresh start but also making sure they are held responsible for their past bad actions. It can help a country move on from a difficult time and build trust with its citizens.
