Episode 4 - Legacy Bill: Part II
Content Warning: reference to violence (support services linked below)
This week, Mike and Ian are joined by Alan Brecknell, Victims' Forum member and advocacy worker at the Pat Finucane Centre, and Brian
Gormally, Director of the Committee on the Administration of Justice.
Alan shares how his family was changed forever by a gun and bomb attack that killed his father when he was a child. Together, they explore the human rights impact of the Legacy Bill on victims and survivors, the context of the human rights emphasis in the Belfast Good Friday Agreement and impact on international agreements with the United Nations.
