Phil Shiner case: the military must remain accountable

It was reviving to peruse your nuanced reflection on Phil Shiner (Editorial, 4 February). I met him in London when he resolutely sought after the awful instance of Baha Mousa against every one of the endeavors to cover it up. He struck me as a genuine and legitimate human rights safeguard, looking for equity which was important. Sadly, the hubris of his prosperity drove him to confer genuine slip-ups in the dust storms of post war Iraq. He has paid an overwhelming cost, by and by and professionally. Those officers wrongly sought after merit expressions of remorse from Mr Shiner. In any case, the individuals who look to utilize his case to suspend any further investigation into situations where there is confirmation of wrongdoing, can't be correct. Lawmakers trying to make the armed force more unaccountable by a quit from the European court of human rights are supporting a faulty technique. They ought to recollect that the reparations paid to Kenyan regular citizens as of late for wounds coming about because of torment happened primarily on the grounds that the administration at that point took a choice to absolved the military and the paramilitary units amid the crisis in the 1950s.
