英国为北爱尔兰新法案辩护, 提供退伍军人保护, UK defends new Northern Ireland bill offering veteran protections amid criticism over legal risks.

英国政府正在维护其《北爱尔兰麻烦法案》,该法案取代了2023年的《遗产法》,并成立了一个经过改革的和解与信息恢复独立委员会,以调查与麻烦有关的杀戮,帮助受害者家属。 The UK government is defending its Northern Ireland Troubles Bill, which replaces the 2023 Legacy Act and establishes a reformed Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery to investigate Troubles-related killings and help victims’ families. 包括北爱尔兰退伍军人专员David Johnstone在内的批评者认为,该法案不公平地对待退伍军人,使他们因服从命令而面临法律诉讼,这不同于以往赦免某些恐怖分子的做法。 Critics, including the Northern Ireland Veterans Commissioner David Johnstone, argue the bill treats veterans unfairly by exposing them to legal action for following orders, unlike past pardons granted to some terrorists. 政府维持这项新法案,其中包括对退伍军人的六种保护,反对将兵役等同于恐怖主义,目的是在高等法院裁定先前的豁免规定为非法之后,在为受害者伸张正义和追究责任之间求得平衡。 The government maintains the new bill includes six protections for veterans, rejects equating military service with terrorism, and aims to balance justice for victims with accountability, following a High Court ruling that previous immunity provisions were unlawful.
