Ensuring human rights and fundamental freedoms is one of the key priorities of state policy in the Republic of Azerbaijan. An important component of this policy is the application of the principles of humanism, compassion and an individualized approach in penal policy. The institutions of pardon and amnesty serve as legal mechanisms embodying these principles, strengthening the rehabilitative purpose of punishment and facilitating the reintegration of convicts into society as reformed individuals.
