Provisions of the Universal Jurisdiction Legislation in Third States."Amnesty laws are political tools used since ancient times by states wishing to quell dissent, introduce reforms or achieve peaceful relationships with their enemies. In recent years, they have become contentious due to a perception that they violate international law, particularly the rights of victims, and contribute to further violence. This book aims to investigate whether an amnesty necessarily entails a violation of a state's international obligations, or whether an amnesty, accompanied by alternative justice mechanisms, can in fact contribute positively to both peace and justice."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Studies in international law (Oxford, England) ;v. 21.AmnestyCommon goodHuman rightsJusticePeace-buildingPolitical rehabilitationInternational human rights lawAmnesty.Common good.Human rights.Justice.Peace-building.Political rehabilitation.341.68Mallinder Louise514823UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910806126503321Amnesty, human rights and political transitions850931UNINA
