Annex VIII to the treaty, called "Declaration of Amnesty", granted immunity to the perpetrators of any crimes "connected to political events" committed between 1914 and 1922,[23][24] notably the Armenian Genocide, Assyrian genocide, and Greek genocide, which were illegal under international law.[25][26] The treaty thus put an end to the effort to prosecute Ottoman war criminals,[27][28] and codified impunity for the genocide.[29]
