Funded Activity Summary

Amnesties and peace accords in the Asia-Pacific. This project aims to produce a comprehensive empirical study of peace-settlement amnesties and their impact on democracy, human rights and long-term peace in the aftermath of violent con?ict. It combines a large-scale global study of all amnesties included in peace accords from 1980 to 2005 with four case studies drawn from the Asia-Paci?c region: Indonesia/Aceh; Papua New Guinea/Bougainville; East Timor; and the Solomon Islands. It will provide an original contribution to scholarship concerned with amnesties and peace- settlements as well as crucial and as yet unavailable insights into the effectiveness and broader rami?cations of offering amnesties in exchange for peace that will inform future peacemaking practice.
