Has the United Kingdom as a ‘State Party’ got a case to answer for its deliberate actions in Northern Ireland, in violation of its UN obligations?
Evidence continues to emerge of the UK state having:
- enabled, facilitated and actively engaged in the murder of its citizens,
- concealed its actions and those of others
- sought to protect state agents, military personnel, the armed forces, intelligence agencies, the Government – the State itself from the consequences of those actions
Victims of those state actions remain without an effective avenue to the truth. Justice for them has been delayed and denied.
The UK as a State should be held to account for its actions. A determination needs to be made, both of the gravity of the actions and the appropriate scale of reparation for those actions. The place for such a determination is the Court of International Justice at the Hague.
Do the victims of the UK State collectively have a route to the Hague?
This will be discussed by a panel the details of which will be released shortly.
