Summary: | Amnesty as an institutionally imposed act of "Forgiving and Forgetting" is nowadays practised in various fields. Whether it is granted due to security, domestic or financial policy reasons, the freedom and escape from punishment are always in stark contrast to the individual's compelling responsibility as the basis of our judicial system as well as to the demand for retribution and social peace. This legal institute is not only terminologically harking back to ancient times but also technically. Similar measures are attested throughout the whole of antiquity. Ob nun jeweils sicherheits-, innen- oder finanzpolitische Motive zu Grunde liegen, stets stehen Straffreiheit und Straferlass im Spannungsfeld von zwingender Verantwortung des Einzelnen als Grundlage unseres Rechtssystems und der Forderung nach ausgleichender Gerechtigkeit und sozialem Frieden. Das Rechtsinstitut der Amnestie steht nicht nur begrifflich, sondern auch sachlich in antiker Tradition, vergleichbare Maßnahmen sind aus allen Epochen des Altertums nachzuweisen. |
