European Convention on Human Rights Bill 2001: Report and Final Stages.
It is reasonable to ask that these people should have redress and the right to a re-trial, if that is necessary. Presidential pardons are all very well, but they depend on the President. I am quite sure that our President would be a person of great compassion and charity who would want to rectify everything she possibly could. Do presidential pardons exist in the United States of America? What is the general view in regard to this area? The current regime certainly has some peculiar views on justice.
