The UK government wants to ban all Troubles-related prosecutions.

Relatives of Troubles victims are set to speak to the UN Human Rights Council later today.

It's part of an attempt to stop a UK government proposal to ban all Troubles-related prosecutions.

It means no ex-soldiers or paramilitaries would be able to be convicted for historical killings in Northern Ireland.

Michael O'Hare, the brother of a 12 year old girl who was killed during the Troubles, this can't go ahead.


Amnesty UK campaign manager Grainne Teggart says the move must be stopped
