Conclusion
We are deeply concerned that the approach to legacy cases put forward in the Bill as drafted will not overcome the long-standing problems as identified by the Council of Europe’s Committee of Ministers. The Bill’s approach to dealing with legacy cases risks the UK failing to comply with the outstanding judgments of the ECtHR, which is a breach of the UK’s obligation under Article 46 of the Convention to comply with adverse judgments.
