amnesty
Let an agent explain amnesties factually by jurisdiction, scope, conditions and limits, neutrally and without legal advice on individual cases.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain amnesties factually by jurisdiction, scope, conditions and limits, neutrally and without legal advice on individual cases.
An official act granting pardon or immunity to a group of people for past offences, often by law, such as political amnesties, tax amnesties, firearms amnesties allowing weapons to be surrendered, and holiday amnesties releasing prisoners.
What it is for: Reconciliation, clearing backlogs, encouraging compliance or surrender of prohibited items.
It can be explain who is covered and conditions; find official information on current amnesties; understand international law limits; describe historical amnesties neutrally.
