The Substantive Conditions of the General Amnesty Law No.27 of 2016

Abstract

The general amnesty law is one of the important laws and at the same time has many caveats. Therefore, the society is intended to restrict the validity of its provisions despite its public attribute by substantive conditions so that the law can achieve the inherent purpose of its legislation which is represented by the social interest. These conditions are set out exclusively by the legislator, but at the same time, the Supreme Judicial Council is empowered to issue instructions to facilitate the implementation of the provisions of the law. Thus, the judiciary represented by the Court of Cassation has a role in interpreting the texts and completing the legislative deficit, in a manner consistent with the legislative idea of the law.
