11 Sept 2024
The Chief Commissioner of the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission welcomes the Secretary of State's statement today (11 September) confirming the UK Government will establish a public inquiry into the murder of Patrick Finucane.
The Commission previously recommended that a right to life (Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights) compliant inquiry is expeditiously conducted into the death of Patrick Finucane, in line with the judgment of the UK Supreme Court.
The Commission calls on the UK Government and the NI Executive to ensure that all investigations are compliant with the right to life (Article 2 ECHR).
