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. 410 0$aStudies in international law (Oxford, England) ;$vv. 21. 606 $aAmnesty 606 $aCommon good 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aJustice 606 $aPeace-building 606 $aPolitical rehabilitation 606 $2International human rights law 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmnesty. 615 0$aCommon good. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 0$aJustice. 615 0$aPeace-building. 615 0$aPolitical rehabilitation. 676 $a341.68 700 $aMallinder$b Louise$0514823 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454283303321 996 $aAmnesty, human rights and political transitions$9850931 997 $aUNINA
