The amnesty law was seen as an important confidence-building measure to help the former militants return to civilian life and ease ethnic tensions in the country, as well as to ensure the safe return of refugees and police forces to areas that had come under rebel control during the conflict.
Zakon o amnestiji sagledan je kao važna mera za izgradnju poverenja kojom bi se pomoglo da se bivši militanti vrate civilnom životu, ublaže etničke napetosti u zemlji, i obezbedi siguran povratak izbeglica i policijskih snaga u oblasti koje su tokom sukoba bile pod kontrolom pobunjenika.
