UK and Ireland pledge to resolve disputes over the Legacy Act, aiming for a human rights compliant solution.

The UK and Irish governments are committed to resolving disagreements over the contentious Legacy Act, which halted civil cases and inquests into Troubles deaths. They met to discuss the act and the Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery, with the UK aiming to repeal and replace the act. The Irish government initiated a legal case against the UK in the European Court of Human Rights, claiming it breaches human rights laws. Both sides agreed to work together to find a compliant solution.
