An Entity of Type: Wrongdoing100732746, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

An Amnesty law is any legislative, constitutional or executive arrangement that retroactively exempts a select group of people, usually military leaders and government leaders, from criminal liability for the crimes that they committed. More specifically, in the 'age of accountability', amnesty laws have come to be considered as granting impunity for the violation of human rights, including institutional measures that preclude the prosecution for such crimes and reprieve those crimes already convicted, avoiding any form of accountability.

dbo:abstract
  • An Amnesty law is any legislative, constitutional or executive arrangement that retroactively exempts a select group of people, usually military leaders and government leaders, from criminal liability for the crimes that they committed. More specifically, in the 'age of accountability', amnesty laws have come to be considered as granting impunity for the violation of human rights, including institutional measures that preclude the prosecution for such crimes and reprieve those crimes already convicted, avoiding any form of accountability. (en)
  • Une loi d'amnistie est une loi offrant, de manière rétroactive, l'amnistie à un groupe de personnes, généralement des militaires, paramilitaires ou chefs de faction, les exemptant de toute poursuite judiciaire quant aux crimes qu'ils ont commis. Il s'agit souvent de crimes de guerre ou de crimes contre l'humanité. (fr)
  • Een amnestiewet is een wet volgens welke amnestie wordt verleend, meestal voor misdaden uit een bepaalde periode, in een bepaalde context of door een bepaalde groep mensen. Meestal worden dergelijke brede wetten aangenomen om (politieke) rust in een land te brengen na een periode van politieke instabiliteit, staatsgrepen of rebellie. (nl)
  • Uma lei de anistia é qualquer arranjo legislativo, constitucional ou executivo que isenta retroativamente um grupo seleto de pessoas, geralmente líderes militares e líderes do governo, de responsabilidade criminal pelos crimes que cometeram. Mais especificamente, na "era da responsabilização", as leis de anistia passaram a ser consideradas como concedendo impunidade por violações dos direitos humanos, incluindo medidas institucionais que impedem o processo por tais crimes e exoneram os crimes já condenados, evitando qualquer forma de responsabilização.
