Ley de Amnistía

The Ley de Amnistía is a legal act that grants forgiveness to individuals for certain crimes committed during specific periods or circumstances, often related to political conflicts or unrest. It aims to promote reconciliation by eliminating criminal penalties for those involved, encouraging peace and social stability. However, it typically excludes serious crimes like genocide or terrorism. Essentially, it provides a legal pathway for almost all those involved in past conflicts to be pardoned and reintegrated into society, reducing legal burdens and fostering national unity.
