The BBC has covered the Ad Hoc Committee’s letter to Prime Minister Boris Johnson on the proposals to prevent further investigation of cases related to the Troubles.
An excerpt:
A group of prominent Irish Americans have said they will not support the UK government’s Troubles legacy proposals.
In July, the government unveiled plans which would see an end to Troubles-related prosecutions.
Boris Johnson said it would allow Northern Ireland to “draw a line under the Troubles”.
The Ad Hoc Committee to Protect the Good Friday Agreement (GFA) said it believed the proposal would not get the approval of the Biden administration.
The US group said it had studied the government proposals with “great care” and said they could become an “issue of contention” between the US and UK governments.
“We have strong reason to believe this proposal will not be met with approval in Washington by either Congress or the Biden administration,” they said.
“It will be a further source of disagreement with US political leaders who have already raised serious concerns about your government’s recent approach to implementation of the Northern Ireland Protocol.”
