Amnesty Law

Amnesty Law refers to legislation that grants individuals or groups immunity from prosecution for certain offenses, typically related to political crimes or civil unrest. It is often enacted during periods of social or political change, such as post-conflict situations or democratic transitions, to encourage reconciliation and healing. By forgiving past offenses, governments aim to foster unity and stability, allowing individuals to move forward without the burden of past convictions. While amnesty can promote peace, it may also raise concerns about justice and accountability for serious crimes.
