UK defends new Northern Ireland bill offering veteran protections amid criticism over legal risks.
The UK government is defending its Northern Ireland Troubles Bill, which replaces the 2023 Legacy Act and establishes a reformed Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery to investigate Troubles-related killings and help victims’ families.
Critics, including the Northern Ireland Veterans Commissioner David Johnstone, argue the bill treats veterans unfairly by exposing them to legal action for following orders, unlike past pardons granted to some terrorists.
The government maintains the new bill includes six protections for veterans, rejects equating military service with terrorism, and aims to balance justice for victims with accountability, following a High Court ruling that previous immunity provisions were unlawful.
