Human rights groups condemn UK Troubles legacy bill
Original: Troubles legacy bill under fire from human rights organisations and legal experts
The UK government's Troubles legacy bill is facing criticism from human rights organisations and legal experts. Bodies including the Irish Council for Civil Liberties argue the legislation falls short of human rights standards and undermines justice for victims of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Critics have called for the bill to be withdrawn or substantially amended, while the government defends it as a way to draw a line under decades of unresolved conflict cases.
Why now: The legislation is at a key stage in parliament and its implications for victims' justice and human rights obligations are highly contested.
