Pardon is an institute that maintains certain archaic characteristics in its modern form and possesses, as a consequence of its long evolution, a number of specifcs that are found in legal systems around the world, both in the terms of its legal nature as well as in mechanisms of its realization. In this paper, several legal systems of the Western legal tradition, which could be considered as pardon models, are analyzed. Although almost every country today has some particular characteristics on its own in the domain of this institute, the models of Serbia, Germany, USA, Commonwealth realms (United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand), Switzerland and Russia all express the number of more distinctive differences by various criteria. Their use as a basis for further comparison could also help explaining the regulations of the domain of the pardon institute in other countries of Western legal traditions and broader. Also, by looking at the set of specifcs of the aforementioned models, a clearer picture of the institute of pardon in general is obtained. The focus of the analysis in this work was primarily placed on the legal key points of pardon, viewed mostly from the constitutional law perspective, and to a certain extent from the criminal law point of view.
