新的法律允许北爱尔兰验尸官在尸体被送回本国后调查国外死亡案件。 New law lets Northern Ireland coroners investigate deaths abroad if the body is returned home.

根据司法部长Naomi Long提议的立法,北爱尔兰的验尸官将能够对尸体被送回北爱尔兰的国外意外、无法解释或可疑死亡进行调查。 Under proposed legislation by Justice Minister Naomi Long, Northern Ireland's coroners will be able to investigate unexpected, unexplained, or suspicious deaths abroad where the body is returned to Northern Ireland. 这使该区域与联合王国和爱尔兰其他地区保持一致,尽管验尸官仍将缺乏迫使外国当局合作的权力。 This aligns the region with the rest of the UK and Ireland, though coroners will still lack the power to compel foreign authorities' cooperation. 此举旨在向北爱尔兰公民提供与联合王国和爱尔兰其他管辖区的同行相同的调查途径。 The move aims to provide Northern Irish citizens the same investigation access as their counterparts in other UK and Irish jurisdictions.
