UK has not carried out effective inquiries into killings as required by ECHR, Council of Europe says
The European court of human rights has issued a stinging rebuke to the UK over its failure to enforce the court’s judgments involving security force killings and suspected collusion cases in Northern Ireland.
In a resolution published on Thursday, the Council of Europe, which oversees the ECHR, expressed “profound concern” at the government’s failure to effectively investigate legacy cases from the Troubles, including the 1989 murder of the Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane.
