Recommendation 11

11

Uncertainty persists regarding purpose and membership of victims and survivors advisory group.

Conclusion
While the principle of establishing a victims and survivors advisory group has been broadly welcomed, there is still uncertainty regarding its purpose, its relationship with existing forums, and whether the Government will act decisively, by way of amendment to the Bill, to prohibit participation or representation by the perpetrators of terrorism, crime or paramilitary activity.
