policy of indemnification

I think I would say "policy of indemnification":

In the Unification Treaty of 31 August 1990 the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic pledged themselves to the continuation of the Federal Republic's **policy of indemnification**. Moreover, an additional fund was set up for such victims of Nazi persecution who had not received any or only limited indemnification up to that point in time. In this way the unified state of Germany paid attention to the fact that the German Democratic Republic, for economic and ideological reasons, had not consistently paid out compensation for the injustice perpetrated by the Nazi regime.
