Recommendation
We expect the Government to abide by its obligations under the ECHR to ensure that investigations conducted by the new legacy body are Article 2 compliant. Victims and families will be failed by a process that results in legal challenge and further delay. This will cause frustration to those who have already waited too long to find out what happened to their loved ones. In setting up any legacy institution, the Government must publish guidelines setting out the steps the body and its staff will take to ensure that its investigations are ECHR compliant. (Paragraph 42) Information recovery
