This book is about amnesties for grave international crimes that
are adopted by states in moments of transition or social unrest.
The subject is naturally controversial, especially in the age of
the International Criminal Court. The goal of this book is to
reframe and revitalize the global debate on the subject, and to
offer an original framework for resolving amnesty dilemmas when
they arise. Most existing literature and jurisprudence on amnesties
deal with only a small subset of state practice and sidestep the
ambiguity of amnesty s position under international law. This book
addresses the ambiguity head on and argues that amnesties of the
broadest scope are sometimes defensible when adopted as a last
recourse in contexts of mass violence. Drawing on an extensive
amnesty database, the book offers detailed guidance on how to
ensure that amnesties extend the minimum leniency possible, while
imposing the maximum accountability on the beneficiaries.
