The British government, under the guidance of Northern Ireland Secretary Hilary Benn, is initiating steps to repeal and replace the controversial Troubles Legacy Act. This legislation, which was passed by the previous Conservative government, has faced significant opposition for its provisions that offer immunity from prosecution for Troubles-related offenses to those who cooperate with a new truth recovery body, and it also halts future civil cases and inquests related to the conflict. The move to repeal comes after widespread criticism from victims' groups, political parties in Northern Ireland, and international bodies like the Irish government and the Council of Europe. Benn has expressed intentions to work collaboratively with all parties involved to create a new framework that better addresses the needs of those affected by the Troubles, ensuring justice and reconciliation.
