Northern Ireland (Emergency Provisions) Act 1973

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Northern Ireland (Emergency Provisions) Act 1973 was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which abolished the death penalty for murder in Northern Ireland, and established the Diplock courts in which terrorist offences were tried by a judge without a jury. It has mostly been repealed, the anti-terrorism provisions having been superseded by subsequent legislation.
