Audit and Re-Imaging of Memorials - Amendment 2
Leave out all after ‘glorifying terrorism;’ and insert:
‘calls on the Minister of Justice to acknowledge that glorifying terrorism is a crime, which retraumatises innocent victims, and to ensure the criminal justice system is configured to address this with the powers to take affirmative action; and further calls on the First Minister and deputy First Minister, and all statutory agencies, to conduct and publish an audit of all harmful and illegal memorials glorifying terrorism, give support to the Minister of Justice in delivering a criminal justice response to illegal imagery and memorials glorifying terrorism, give further support to the Minister for Infrastructure for the removal of illegal memorials which contravene planning permission, align with the Minister for Communities to lead a programme to support communities to re-image these memorials by removing all imagery and emblems that glorify terrorism and reference acts of violence or events that caused pain and misery, and to develop guidance to ensure that memorials glorifying terrorism are not erected in the future.’
