The concept of pardoning remains pivotal in global politics, influencing both domestic and international landscapes. Recent decisions by world leaders, such as Biden's move to pardon several officials and Lukashenko's release of political prisoners, underscore the power of clemency. Meanwhile, Georgia's Zurabishvili opted not to pardon Saakashvili, underlining political accountability. In conflict zones, discussions around pardons often intermingle with diplomacy, as seen in the cases involving Ukrainian exchanges with DPR/LPR. These moves can alter diplomatic ties and human rights narratives in 2025.
