I believe the answer is:
amnesty
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">general pardon</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for amnesty that I've seen before include "act of forgiveness" , "A general pardon for nasty me" , "When law is suspended" , "General pardon - international charity" , "Dispensation" .)
