"Impunity"---a term to consider.

It is defined by the United Nations as:

"the impossibility, de jure or de facto, of bringing the perpetrators of violations to account----whether in criminal, civil,administrative, or disciplinary proceedings----since they are not subject to any inquiry that might lead to their being accused, arrested, tried and, if found guilty, sentenced to appropriate penalties, and to making reparations to their victims."
