Conclusion
We are deeply concerned at the difference in treatment of victims and we note concerns that have been expressed about the “racist overtones” of this Bill. We do not accept that any offences are “understandable” depending on the nationality or employment status of the victim of an offence. (Paragraph 90) 52 Legislative Scrutiny: The Overseas Operations (Service Personnel and Veterans) Bill Limitation period for Human Rights and civil claims
