Britain's Parliament has passed a law that sets out to lay the ghosts of decades of violence in Northern Ireland to rest.
Kenny Donaldson, director of services at the South East Fermanagh Foundation, a victims’ group, said Troubles survivors “feel deeply offended” by the bill’s use of the words legacy and reconciliation.
Under the terms of the 1998 peace agreement, many militants were released from prison or were not prosecuted for actions during the Troubles, a decision that long rankled people affected by the violence. Almost no one in Northern Ireland wants to return to violence, but it remains a divided place, a part of the United Kingdom where some identify as British and some as Irish. But the institutions set up by the peace process remain fragile.that collapsed the regional power-sharing administration in Belfast and left the region without a functioning government since early 2022.
Members of the House of Lords, Parliament’s upper chamber, relented Tuesday on attempts to put the brakes on the bill after its passage in the elected House of Commons. It will become law after the formality of King Charles III giving royal assent. The government has not said when that would happen, but it usually comes within days of parliamentary approval.
