Belfast's High Court finds the Legacy Act, offering amnesties for Troubles-era crimes, in violation of the European Convention on Human Rights.

The Legacy and Reconciliation Bill, passed in September, aimed to halt most prosecutions from the Troubles but is criticized for breaching the ECHR and the 1998 peace deal.

A new body may conduct investigations into the Troubles killings that comply with human rights standards, despite the Legacy Act's shortcomings.

The British government is 'committed' to the Legacy Bill despite the ruling, while the Irish government has taken its objections to the European Court of Human Rights.

The law faces significant opposition, with over 20 legal challenges and resistance from victims' families, human rights groups, and political parties in Northern Ireland.
