British former prime minister Tony Blair called Wednesday for a truth and reconciliation commission for Northern Ireland to address historical crimes on both sides of “The Troubles”.
Modelled on South Africa’s post-apartheid experience, the commission would be a better approach than endless recriminations in court prosecutions, Blair indicated, a day after a coroner’s inquest heavily criticised British troops over 10 deaths in 1971.
“Obviously I sympathise with the government. We tried to deal with this ourselves when we were in government,” he told ITV News, as London prepares new legislation to try to draw a line under accusations of wrongful deaths in past conflicts.
