iflewbikes:stillhereunfortunately:In what world is ‘soldiers are to be exempt from human rights laws’ a victoryThe really sad part about this is that the ECHR derogations aren’t about protecting troops, and aren’t about the IHAT (Iraq Historic Allegations Team). EHCR derogations would protect the Government from cases, including ones brought by soldiers and their families.IHAT is about allegations of war crimes. Nothing to do with human rights rules.So we’ve got The Daily Mail, Britain First, and god know’s who else cheering about how this’ll help “our boys” or whatever, but in reality, if a family want to seek justice if a family member in the military died due to being supplied with a gun that jammed, a Land Rover that couldn’t stop an IED blast, or body armour that didn’t work, now there is nothing they can do.Similarly, people can’t go after the government for unlawful military action. -- source link
