The UK Supreme Court has upheld a government appeal regarding the 2023 Legacy Act, which victims' advocates criticized as a setback, asserting that the Act did not diminish victims' rights and suggesting that the Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery (ICRIR) can conduct human rights-compliant investigations despite concerns over the government's power to control information disclosure. #HumanRights #NorthernIreland #SupremeCourt #GB #IE #NI
