Construction amnesty, also known as reconstruction peace, building permit forgiveness and zoning reconciliation (Turkish: imar barışı or imar affı), is any set of Turkish law to register and legalize nominally illegal construction. Amnesty is (retroactively) granted to buildings without any planning permission such as gecekondus, and to constructions that disregarded official building codes including fire and earthquake safety regulations.
