However, other reforms are stronger signals of commitment than amnesties and rebel leaders are almost never prosecuted following peace agreements, with or without amnesty. Thus, amnesties do not prevent leaders from undermining the peace. Instead, I argue amnesties protect rank and file rebels from post-war prosecution. When rebel foot soldiers could join another group, they can use the threat of exit to force their leaders to negotiate amnesties and ensure they are implemented.
