Policing for Peace and the Commitment to ‘Repeal and Replace’ the Northern Ireland Legacy Act: How should the Irish Government deal with Legacy investigations in its jurisdiction?
CAJ and ICCL (Irish Council for Civil Liberties) have published a report on a recent seminar which brought together activists, civil society, academics and protest groups from across the island to discuss the policing of protest, north and south. The seminar took place in Dublin on 3 September 2024.
The purpose of the seminar was to gather a variety of perspectives on how legacy investigations into historic human rights violations should be conducted in the South in light of relevant legal obligations, opportunities in the current political climate and lessons learned from the peace process in the North.
