What characterizes a conditional pardon?

A conditional pardon is characterized by being granted with specific requirements that the individual must fulfill to maintain the benefits of the pardon. This means that while the individual is given the opportunity for forgiveness and relief from some of the penalties of their crime, they must adhere to designated conditions, such as participating in rehabilitation programs or avoiding further criminal activities. Failing to meet these conditions can result in the revocation of the pardon.

In contrast, a complete forgiveness of a crime does not impose any requirements and fully absolves the individual of the criminal offense. Formal statements regarding a court's decision relate to judicial actions rather than clemency measures. The recognition of certain facts as being true does not pertain specifically to pardons and lacks the context of legal forgiveness or the imposition of conditions, making these alternatives not applicable to the concept of a conditional pardon.
