Recommendation
The Government must not rely on victims and families to initiate case reviews - there is an obligation on the State to act of its own motion. It is therefore imperative that the Secretary of State ensures that all outstanding cases which trigger the investigative duty under Articles 2 or 3 are referred for review (see Annex, Amendments 5 and 6).
