Discussion

Liviu-Lee Roth May 10, 2023:
In US A pardon will be effective only after delivery and acceptance of the deed. The acceptance of the pardon by the convicted person is essential for the validity of the pardon. No courts can force a pardon on a person. When a pardon has been delivered and accepted, it cannot be revoked. The recipient can be deprived of its benefits only in some appropriate legal proceeding. Acceptance or consent of the person convicted is not essential to the validity of a commutation of sentence. When the commutation is made upon conditions, it must be accepted by the prisoner.

withdraw entitlement to a pardon

-> based on Liviu-Lee Roth' comment on, or objection to, my first stab at an answer: 'When a pardon has been delivered and accepted, it cannot be revoked. The recipient can be deprived of its benefits only in some appropriate legal proceeding.'

S-a dispus revocarea beneficiului grațierii pentru pedepsele : It was ordered / an order was made / to withdraw entitlement to a pardon for the following criminal sentences...

> specifically - like a British 'Royal Pardon' - for one offenc/se, rather than a general amnesty granted by the national government etc. for a certain type of crime, on condition - for instance - of unlawful owners of offensive weapons handing in knives or handguns.

'Spent convictions' in the UK are also different, the 'slate being wiped clean' of criminal convictions, generally after a certain number of years and will not appear on the past offender's national criminal or police record.
Example sentence:

Rom. Crim. Code: Ministerul public şi judecătorul îngrijesc să se facă, fără întârziere, adnotaţiuni de graţiere sau de amnistie, pe marginea hotărîrilor de condamnare, încunoştiinţând şi serviciul cazierului judiciar.

The European Commission has criticised a proposed pardon by the Romanian government for thousands of convicted criminals.

Peer comment(s):

agree Liviu-Lee Roth : din lipsă de mai mult context în sursă, este acceptabil; în retroversiune ar fi „se retrage dreptul la grațiere” Este o diferență între „revocare” și „retragere”
