The council urges the UK government to scrap conditional amnesties for Troubles-era crimes.
BBC News Ireland correspondent
The council's Committee of Ministers focuses on the implementation of judgements by the European Court of Human Rights, which makes rulings based on the convention.The killings were carried out by the security forces, or gave rise to allegations that members of state forces colluded with paramilitaries.
The committee said it "noted with interest" amendments to the bill, which had been made since it last examined the issues. The committee re-iterated criticism of the measure to give immunity from prosecution to former paramilitaries and members of the security forces who co-operate with the ICRIR. It said the UK authorities should consider "taking additional practical measures to ensure that as many inquests as possible can conclude before 1 May 2024", which is the date when the ICRIR is scheduled to fully begin work.
He said the new process "presents us all with a real opportunity to deliver greater information, accountability and acknowledgement to victims and families, moving away from established mechanisms that have left far too many empty-handed".
