Amnesties

An amnesty is an official pardon or forgiveness granted by the government to individuals or groups who have committed certain offenses, typically political crimes or violations related to rebellion, without requiring them to serve punishment. It essentially forgives past actions, often encouraging reform or reconciliation, and can be part of peace agreements or conflict resolution efforts. Amnesties aim to promote social stability and healing by allowing individuals to restart without the burden of legal consequences for past conduct, provided they meet specific conditions set by authorities.
