Dabei beschr\u00e4nkt er sich auf die Analyse des Falles, in dem&nbsp;<em>Saakaschwili<\/em>&nbsp;wegen Amtsmissbrauchs verurteilt wurde, weil er ehemalige Polizisten aus politischen Gr\u00fcnden begnadigt hatte, die sich des Mordes schuldig gemacht haben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anschlie\u00dfend wird das Urteil im Hinblick auf seine Anwendung von Art. 7 EMRK untersucht.

Dar\u00fcber hinaus zeigt er auf, warum im rechtsvergleichenden Teil des Urteils die Grenzen des Begnadigungsrechts des Staatsoberhauptes nicht vertretbar herausarbeitet wurden. Insbesondere sei die Entstehung von V\u00f6lkergewohnheitsrecht hinsichtlich der Immunit\u00e4t von Staatsoberh\u00e4uptern bei der Aus\u00fcbung der Begnadigungsbefugnis ausgeschlossen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>***<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/jean-monnet-saar.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Saar-Blueprint_Petkovic.pdf\">Saar Blueprint<\/a><\/strong>, Bojan M. Petkovi\u0107 contextualizes the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights of 23 May 2024, which addressed the criminal responsibility arising from the granting a pardon by former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The author first presents the facts of the underlying case, confining himself to analyzing the case in which Saakashvili was convicted of abuse of official authority for politically motivated pardons of former police officers who had been found guilty of murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The judgment is then examined with regard to its application of Article 7 ECHR. The author focuses on whether the conviction under the criminal provision was \u201cforeseeable\u201d within the meaning of the ECtHR\u2019s established case law on Article 7 ECHR in light of the granting of a pardon. Furthermore, he explains why the limits of the head of state\u2019s right to pardon were insufficiently elaborated in the comparative law section of the judgment. In particular, the formation of customary international law regarding the immunity of heads of state in the exercise of the pardon power is impossible in the opinion of the author.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/jean-monnet-saar.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Saar-Blueprint_Petkovic.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Einbettung von &lt;strong&gt;Saar Blueprint&lt;\/strong&gt;.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-8bcf38a9-3265-4a1a-8ac7-bf98d4137099\" href=\"https:\/\/jean-monnet-saar.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Saar-Blueprint_Petkovic.pdf\"><strong>Saar Blueprint<\/strong><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/jean-monnet-saar.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Saar-Blueprint_Petkovic.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-8bcf38a9-3265-4a1a-8ac7-bf98d4137099\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In unserem neuen Saar Blueprint wird das Urteil des EGMR vom 23.
