Time for truth recovery running out -Irish News

If nothing else, the death of Denis Hutchings during his trial for the shooting of John Patrick Cunningham in Tyrone in 1974, and now the death of another soldier involved in the fatal shooting of Stan Carberry, a father of six in west Belfast in 1972, are warnings that time is fast running out for victims and their families of achieving truth and justice through the courts. There is an alternative, which is a Truth Recovery Process that provides victims and survivors with an alternative to the tortuously slow pursuit of cases through the judicial process, where cases often end in disappointment and the traumatisation of many participants.

We will shortly be holding a Webinar on the legal aspects of the process and the draft legislation that would allow it to be incorporated in the Stormont House Agreement through the Independent Commission on Information Retrieval.

We will also be launching a new journal, Legacy Matters on December 3 in the Linen Hall Library.

Our proposal is challenging but that is all the more reason why it needs to be addressed.
