Amnesty Laws

Amnesty Laws is a legislative framework that belongs to the category of legal instruments in transitional justice, specifically characterized by its provision of immunity from prosecution for state officials and agents accused of human rights violations during periods of military dictatorship, thereby distinguishing it from other judicial or accountability mechanisms by prioritizing political reconciliation over punitive justice.
