- Abstract
Submission of evidence to the Independent Counter-Terrorism Commission - 16 December 2022. This submission of evidence examines events that took place during the Troubles in Northern Ireland and the procedural obligation of the UK to conduct an effective investigation into alleged violations of the right to life (Article 2 ECHR). The submission focuses on the killing of Michael Tighe and the wounding of Martin McCauley in the 'Hayshed Shooting' of 1982. The proposal included in the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Bill to grant immunity from prosecution on request to those implicated in fatal shooting incidents is addressed. It is recommended that this proposal is withdrawn and that the government ensures that investigation reports connected with fatal shootings by security personnel during the Troubles are published in full.
