In it, they questioned that institution's involvement in the events of September 30, 1965, in Indonesia, in the total destruction of the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI), as well as in Sukarno's ousting from the presidency.

German media also reported on a planned international court trial at The Hague in the Netherlands this October concerning the 1965 events.
