English Legal System: Amnesty
In the context of the English law, A Dictionary of Law provides the following legal concept of Amnesty:
An act erasing from legal memory some aspect of criminal conduct by an offender. It is most frequently granted to groups of people in respect of political offences and is wider than a *pardon, which merely relieves an offender of punishment.

Traditional meaning of amnesty [1]: A term in international law which is an act of oblivion of past offences. An act of amnesty is given to one who may have been guilty, while a pardon is given to one who is surely guilty; see 35 Ga. 296; 10 Ct. CI. 407.
