Northern Ireland: 11 March: The Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission today expressed its disappointment that the Law Lords have unanimously decided that standards required by the European Convention on Human Rights are not to be applied to investigations into killings occurring before October 2000. The Commission was reacting to the decision announced today by the House of Lords in a case brought by the son of Gervaise McKerr, who was shot dead by RUC officers at Tullygally Road in Lurgan on 11 November 1982: Press statement (pdf)
