#retraction

• Retraction — The act of contradicting or rejecting and its result; the formal invalidation, retraction, or dismissal of a legal decision, statement, or claim. Used in the past as an archaic equivalent for the modern notion of disavowal or the formal annulment of a legal or ecclesiastical act.
• Self-retraction — The act of self-contradicting and its result; an official, voluntary, and autonomous retraction of a statement, declaration, or position previously expressed by the same person or institution. This structural act restores the factual or legal truth in the public space, canceling the validity of an erroneous communiqué issued in the past.
