The need for agreement between the two governments on possible approach changes applies in the first place and, in particular, to the legislation that the Independent Information Appeal Board would apply on the basis of the treaty signed between our two governments in 2015. Each approach must be consistent in both legal systems.

Concerns have been expressed about the role and powers of law enforcement bodies, particularly the HIU. Among the key differences of opinion were the scope of the HST`s investigative powers, the inclusion of “non-criminal police misconduct” in the IBIU mission, and the ability of ICIR to verify information.15 Submissions to our 2020 investigation also contained a number of views on the Stormont House Agreement and the Bill. Some felt that the Stormont House Agreement proposals were still the best course of action.16 Other witnesses welcomed the change of direction.17 In the WMS, The Minister for Northern Ireland said that the agreement was “an important milestone” but did not end the continuation of the debate.18 We also want the British Government, in its presentation at this meeting, to raise further doubts about the nature of its commitment – reaffirmed at the time of the new decade in January – to have this legislation cleaned up as an urgent success. This commitment to strive to “quickly” implement Stormont House institutions was reaffirmed in January 2020 at New Decade, New Approach (NDNA). As part of the NDNA, the government has committed to publishing and introducing legislation within 100 days.23 In recent years, eleven different proposals have been made to address the legacy of northern Ireland`s past. Finally, in a statement from the Northern Ireland Office (NIO) in March 2020, the UK government proposed a new approach to inheritance.

N2 – In recent years, eleven different proposals have been made to address the legacy of the past in Northern Ireland. Finally, in a statement from the Northern Ireland Office (NIO) in March 2020, the UK government proposed a new approach to inheritance. Prosecutors, Arrests and the Stormont House Agreement: A critical analysis of proposals to deal with the past in Northern Ireland examines all of these proposals and compares each of these proposals to binding human rights commitments, the Good Friday Agreement (GFA) and the Stormont House Agreement (SHA) (1). The report was written by a team of NI-based experts, including CAJ staff and scientists from Queen`s University Belfast. It aims to contribute to the ongoing deliberations of the British and Irish governments, political parties and civil society as they reflect on how to manage the legacy of the past in Northern Ireland. 13.In the WMS, the Minister of Northern Ireland outlined a new framework for the resolution of legacy charges in Northern Ireland, referring to the NIO`s public consultation on The 2018 Bill, he stated that, to date, 18 months later, the Uk Government had still not complied with its obligations to the Committee and the applicant, Mrs Geraldine Finucane.
