AMNESTY IN CASES OF HEAVIEST INTERNATIONAL CRIMES
Abstract
The article focuses on the question of the suitability of amnesty in tackling national heritage
of civil wars, dictatorship, state apparatus disintegration and others. The author furthermore
presents a typology of amnesty acts. A question arises as to why amnesty, an instrument
typical of national legal systems, rouses such controversy on the international level.
However, the controversies arise over only those acts of amnesty that occur in cases of the
heaviest international felonies, tortures, and war crimes. The author discusses the motives of
applying amnesty in such cases, listing some advantages of such a solution and also mentioning
the ‘darker’ sides, or drawbacks of the option. The article is rounded up with an
analysis of limitations on the use of amnesty under the international law.
