	Amnesty Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Amnesty Act of 1872 was a United States federal law that removed voting restrictions and office-holding disqualification against most of the secessionists who rebelled in the United States Civil War, except for very high positions.
		The Amnesty Act of 1872 did not swing the political balance in the south, giving voting rights to the ex-Confederates who would most likely vote for the Democratic party.
		The Amnesty Act was outweighed by the increasing African American vote and nullified.

	1336. Some post-amnesty conundrums
		For the donor to claim amnesty, he or she had to elect, in terms of section 4 of the Amnesty Act, that the trust’s assets be deemed to be his or hers.
		Section 4 of the Amnesty Act goes on to state that section 7(8) of the Act does not apply "while" the assets of the off-shore trust are deemed to belong to the applicant.
		The reason for this is that section 4 of the Amnesty Act continues to deem the trust’s assets to be those of the applicant, and the assets would not have been disposed of because they comprise only the shares in and claim against the BVI company.

	Crimes Of War Project > The Book
		Amnesty, from the Greek stem amnestia, meaning to forget, is an act of the legislature whose aim is to erase an accomplished fact which would otherwise be punishable, and so either to prevent or to stop legal action, or, as the case may be, to erase any sentence.
		Amnesty, in fact, is not only not to be set against the claims of victims of the crimes to which it refers, but still further, is contrary to the legal obligations of states.
		Amnesties are generally incompatible with the duty of States to investigate such acts; to guarantee freedom from such acts within their jurisdiction; and to ensure that they do not occur in the future.

		Amnesty International is concerned at the high incidence of custodial deaths, torture, rape, extrajudicial killings and "disappearances" in the Northeast and Jammu and Kashmir in general and those among them which are facilitated by the AFSPA in particular.
		Amnesty International is concerned that allowing the fatal shooting of persons merely for gathering in groups of five or more clearly constitutes disregard for the fundamental right to life, which under international law cannot be derogated from even in times of emergency.
		Amnesty International is concerned that torture and ill-treatment are routinely inflicted in areas where the AFSPA is in force on account of the wide powers given to security forces deployed in "disturbed areas" and the expectation of impunity which it generates among soldiers and which, unfortunately, is often fulfilled.

	Northern Uganda: Reconciliation and justice: ‘Mato oput’ and the Amnesty Act
		This call for amnesty was underpinned by their faith in the capacity of the community and cultural institutions to manage effective reconciliation even against the background of serious offences.
		Thus, when in January 2000 the government introduced a new Amnesty Act, it was building on tradition and responding to the expressed wishes of the people of Uganda – particularly those of the people of Acholi whose specific concerns were incorporated into the law.
		For the individual, the greatest significance of the amnesty law is a legal one: it confers upon the beneficiaries of the amnesty an irrevocable legal immunity from prosecution or punishment.

	The amnesty program that tried and failed
		It granted amnesty to millions of undocumented immigrants, beefed up security along the U.S.-Mexican border and, for the first time, tried to punish employers of unlawful workers.
		Granting amnesty to undocumented immigrants doesn't solve illegal immigration, and employer sanctions are meaningless unless they are strictly enforced.
		The 1986 amnesty legislation also showed that even strictly monitoring work sites and the border is doomed to failure without addressing the U.S. economy's strong demand for immigrant labor.

	1105. Comments on the amnesty
		Firstly, many have questioned why the amnesty was not extended to cover companies, at the time of extending the ambit to include close corporations, trusts and deceased estates.
		The reason given for this is that the main purpose of the amnesty is that of an exchange control amnesty and it is not considered appropriate to extend the amnesty to companies that in any event operated under a more flexible and discretionary exchange control regime.
		In a related issue, concern has been expressed that professional advisors who are consulted on the amnesty and are requested to assist applicants in lodging applications would be required, in terms of the Regulations issued in terms of the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA) to disclose such information to the Financial Intelligence Centre.

		Amnesties are all too common legislative efforts to forgive the breaking of immigration laws and to make it possible for illegal aliens to live permanently in the United States.
		According to INS estimates released in October, 2000, the amnesties granted in 1986 as a result of the Immigration Reform and Control Act significantly contributed to an increase in illegal immigration as the relatives of newly legalized illegal immigrants came illegally to the United States to join their family members.
		The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) was enacted by Congress in response to the large and rapidly growing illegal alien population in the United States.

		Amnesty International is concerned that the USA PATRIOT Act undermines the human rights of Americans and non-citizens, and weakens the framework for promoting human rights internationally.
		In particular, the USA PATRIOT Act threatens the rights protected in the U.S. Constitution and international documents, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), the Convention against Torture, and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination.
		Individuals urge the U.S. Congress to pass reforms to safeguard individual human rights, such as the End Racial Profiling Act, and revoke aspects of the USA PATRIOT Act that are in breach of the rights protected in the U.S. Constitution and international human rights law.

		Amnesty is a general pardon from the government for law-breaking.
		None –not one—of those amnesties was associated with a decline in illegal immigration.
		The total effect of the amnesties was even larger because relatives later joined amnesty recipients, and this number was multiplied by an unknown number of children born to amnesty recipients who then acquired automatic US citizenship.
