Download or read book Twentieth Report of the Independent Monitoring Commission written by Independent Monitoring Commission and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report on the continuing activities of paramilitary groups focuses mainly on the six month period 1 September 2007 to 29 February 2008. Of the republican groups, the Commission finds that âgliagh nâireann (ONH), Continuity Irish Republican Army (CIRA), Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) and the Real Irish Republican Army (RIRA) remain involved in serious crime and violence, and are still a threat. The Provisional Irish republican Army (PIRA), as reported in the Commission's last two reports, is committed to an exclusively political path. Of the loyalist groups, the Loyalist Volunteer Force (LVF) is involved in criminal activity with no political purpose; the Ulster Defence Association (UDA) is still a split organisation, with some members heavily involved in violent and serious crime, with no progress towards decommissioning of weapons; the breakaway South East Antrim Group of the UDA is now effectively a separate organisation and is pursuing a policy of community engagement, but involvement in serious crime is still evident; the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) and Red Hand Commando (RHC) continue to put weapons "beyond reach", to downsize the organisation, and to reduce the level of criminality on the part of members. The report also contains statistics on the incidence of violence.
Book Synopsis Twenty-first Report of the Independent Monitoring Commission by : Independent Monitoring Commission
Download or read book Twenty-first Report of the Independent Monitoring Commission written by Independent Monitoring Commission and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2009 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report focusses on the six-month period from 1 September 2008 to 28 February 2009. The murders of two British soldiers in Antrim, just after the report period, confirmed the finding that dissident republican movements - particularly Continuity IRA and the Real IRA - remain a major danger to peace, with a continuing high level of serious violent activity detailed in this report. All the groups are also involved in other ciminal activity such as drug dealing, kidnapping, extortion and smuggling and fuel laundering. The loyalist paramilitaries showed less activity, with the mainstream UDA now needing to address urgently the issue of decommissioning of weapons before the protection of the decommissioning legislation is lifted (by February 2010 at the latest).The UVF appears to be continuing to run down though some members are still involved in criminal activity for personal gain.

Book excerpt: This report focuses mainly on the six month period 1 September 2009 to 28 February 2010. Dissident republicans (especially the Real Irish Republican Army) remain highly active and dangerous. They were responsible for one murder and for numerous other incidents in which victims might have died. They are involved in a wide range of other non-terrorist crime and have sought to increase the capability of their organisations. On the loyalist side, many groups have decommissioned arms, but there is still involvement in non-terrorist criminal activities.

Book excerpt: This report focuses mainly on paramilitiary activity in the six month period 1 March to 31 August 2010. Dissident republican groups continued to pose a substantial and potentially lethal threat, especially to the security forces. They are also held to be responsible for several outbreaks of disorder, involving hijacking and burning of vehicles. On the Loyalist side, most groups were not engaged in terrorist activity though there is still evidence of heavy involvement in serious criminal activity.

Download or read book Twenty-second Report of the Independent Monitoring Commission written by Independent Monitoring Commission (Northern Ireland) and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report focusses on the six-month period from 1 March 2009 to 31 August 2009. The Continuity IRA and the Real IRA remain active and extremely dangerous, with a continuing high level of serious violent activity which is the highest since the Commission started to report in 2004. The report also highlights evidence that recruitment to these organisations has increased. The groups are also involved in other criminal activity such as drug dealing, kidnapping, extortion and smuggling and fuel laundering. The Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) has announced (on 11 October 2009, outside the period of this report) that its armed struggle was over. The Provisional IRA has maintained its political course. The mainstream UDA has decommissioned a quantity of weapons, an important step. The Commission believes the UDA South East Antrim group is now quite separate from the mainstream UDA: it is also committed to decommissioning but progress is very slow. The UVF has also decommissioned some weapons and made major progress, though some members are still involved in criminal activity for personal gain.
Book Synopsis Twenty-sixth and Final Report of the Independent Monitoring Commission by : Independent Monitoring Commission (Northern Ireland)
Download or read book Twenty-sixth and Final Report of the Independent Monitoring Commission written by Independent Monitoring Commission (Northern Ireland) and published by . This book was released on 2011-07-04 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the final report from the Independent Monitoring Commission. On 4 November 2010 the British and Irish Governments announced that they would bring the IMC to an end after the Commission had presented a last report on its work, including lessons learnt. This report therefore differs from its previous reports, instead of addressing paramilitary activity or security normalisation it describes its functions and what has changed since establishment in 2004. Also how it worked, assessing its strengths and weaknesses and its view of the contribution over the last seven years. This is not only for the record but it is hoped that it might give insights to those in the future monitoring terrorist campaigns or peace processes elsewhere in the world. The Commission recognises that every situation is unique and what works in one place cannot necessarily be transferred elsewhere. However the Commission believes there are lessons to be drawn from its experiences and hope they will be of use to others dealing with such problems in other places and at other times.
Book Synopsis The Peacebuilding Elements of the Belfast Agreement and the Transformation of the Northern Ireland Conflict by : Cornelia Albert
Download or read book The Peacebuilding Elements of the Belfast Agreement and the Transformation of the Northern Ireland Conflict written by Cornelia Albert and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to analyse whether the implementation of the peacebuilding elements of the Belfast Agreement contributed to the transformation of the protracted Northern Ireland Conflict. Therefore, this book deals with the following sections of the Agreement: Rights, Safeguards and Equality of Opportunity, Decommissioning, Security, Policing and Justice, and Prisoners. The author comes to the conclusion that the majority of the peacebuilding elements contributed to the transformation of the Northern Ireland Conflict. The results of the study were obtained in conducting interviews, in consulting surveys, and in studying reports and other relevant literature on the recent developments in Northern Ireland.
Book Synopsis Twenty-fourth Report of the Independent Monitoring Commission by : Independent Monitoring Commission
Download or read book Twenty-fourth Report of the Independent Monitoring Commission written by Independent Monitoring Commission and published by Stationery Office/Tso. This book was released on 2010-09-15 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report investigates the murder of Bobby Moffett in Belfast on May 2010. The Commission sees the murder as a serious backward step after a period when all the paramilitary groups other than the dissident republicans had moved decisively away from violence. The Commission concluded that there were two main reasons for the murder and the way in which it was committed: to stop Mr Moffett's perceived flouting of UVF authority, and to send a message to the organisation and the community that this authority was not to be challenged. The fact that there was no subsequent condemnation of the killing by the UVF leadership meant that in effect the UVF adopted its consequences. A further full six-monthly report on paramilitary activity is due to submitted in October 2010 in the usual way.

Download or read book Inside the IRA written by Andrew Sanders and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-25 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Would the 'real' IRA please stand up? Why, and how, the IRA splintered. The Real IRA, the Continuity IRA, the Irish National Liberation Army, the Official IRA and the Provisional IRA have all assumed responsibility for the struggle for Irish freedom over the course of the late-20th century. Yet as recently as 1969 there was only one Irish Republican Army trying to unify Ireland using physical force., Andrew Sanders explains how and why the transition from one IRA to several IRAs occurred, analysing all the dissident factions that have emerged since the outbreak of the Northern Ireland troubles. He looks at why these groups emerged, what their respective purposes are, and why, in an era of relative peace and stability in Northern Ireland, they seek to prolong the violence that cost over 3500 lives.
Book Synopsis Evaluating the Political Rationality of Terrorist Groups by : Eric van Um
Download or read book Evaluating the Political Rationality of Terrorist Groups written by Eric van Um and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-10 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book improves our understanding of terrorists’ motivations and rationality and may, ultimately, also indicate how to respond to the phenomenon of terrorism. In his research studies, Eric van Um explores the political rationality of terrorist groups. The political rationality model builds on rational choice theory. It demands that terrorist groups take into account the costs and benefits of their available options and choose the option promising them the highest political utility. Testing the explanatory power of this model is relevant, as rational choice approaches have become very prominent in terrorism research. But, at the same time, their empirical power remains highly contested. Increased knowledge of the political rationality model not only promises added value for terrorism research itself, but also for social sciences more generally.

Book Synopsis Transitional Justice and the Politics of Inscription by : Joseph Robinson
Download or read book Transitional Justice and the Politics of Inscription written by Joseph Robinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-04 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking Northern Ireland as its primary case study, this book applies the burgeoning literature in memory studies to the primary question of transitional justice: how shall societies and individuals reckon with a traumatic past? Joseph Robinson argues that without understanding how memory shapes, moulds, and frames narratives of the past in the minds of communities and individuals, theorists and practitioners may not be able to fully appreciate the complex, emotive realities of transitional political landscapes. Drawing on interviews with what the author terms "memory curators," coupled with a robust analysis of secondary literature from a range of transitional cases, the book analyses how the bodies of the dead, the injured, and the traumatised are written into - or written out of - transitional justice. The author argues that scholars cannot appreciate the dynamism of transitional memory-space unless they first engage with the often silenced or marginalised voices whose memories remain trapped behind the antagonistic politics of fear and division. Ultimately challenging the imperative of national reconciliation, the author argues for a politics of public memory that incubates at multiple nodes of social production and can facilitate a vibrant, democratic debate over the ways in which a traumatic past can or should be remembered.

Book Synopsis Insecurity in the supply of electrical energy by : Simon Bennett
Download or read book Insecurity in the supply of electrical energy written by Simon Bennett and published by Libri Publishing Limited. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph evaluates the consequences for ICT users of failures in the supply of electricity. As demand for electricity grows it is vital that the electricity generating industry expands its capacity. It is also vital that the networks (grids) that deliver that electricity are up to the task. There is talk in Britain of an impending ‘energy gap’ and in the United States of a grid at breaking point. Case studies illustrate the consequences for advanced societies of power outages. It is suggested that even the most comprehensive business continuity plans may be overwhelmed. It is concluded that the best way to secure the ICT systems of both the private and public sectors (including risk, crisis and disaster management ICT) is to maintain a reliable supply of electrical energy. Security of supply would also reduce the burden on crisis management agencies. The private and public sectors must ensure that governments address the energy security issue. Governments must fully meet their public safety responsibilities by investing in resilient power generation and distribution systems. As evidenced by the generally successful response to the world financial crisis of 2008–10, governments are still the prime movers in maintaining stability. Governments’ empowerment of producers and markets within a de-regulated, laissez-faire world economic system should not be seen as an opportunity to scale-down investment in infrastructure. If the private sector is preoccupied with short-term gain, it is up to governments to invest for the long term (provided, of course, the required legislation can be voted through – not easy in coalition governments where parties may hold different views). Reports of the death of the post-war settlement are premature. Keynes’s ideas are relevant still.
Book Synopsis The Development of British Defence Policy by : David Brown
Download or read book The Development of British Defence Policy written by David Brown and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Britain's military forces have rarely been busier. It is therefore crucial to understand the developing trends and underlying assumptions of British Defence Policy, in regard to both foreign policy and international security. This volume, which covers both the Blair and Brown eras in defence policy making, places developments post 11 September in a wider context, assessing the impact of key personalities and events on a range of issues, notably the perennial concern of military overstretch. By critically appraising contemporary developments, and examining the driving policy in specific cases, this volume provides a relevant and up-to-date assessment of this vital policy area. As well as being contemporary in its analysis, the work is also comprehensive in scope, embracing both policy objectives - such as the expeditionary strategy and the desire to be a bridge between the US and EU - and the instruments that underpin such policy.
Book Synopsis Spoiling the peace? by : Sophie Whiting
Download or read book Spoiling the peace? written by Sophie Whiting and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses the security threat and political challenges offered by dissident Irish republicanism to the Northern Irish peace process. Dissident republicanism ranges from those who consider armed struggle to be an essential element of any republican campaign to political reformers and campaign groups. The book charts the divisions in republicanism following the evolution of Sinn Féin into constitutional politics, leaving a rump of ‘militants’. Using in-depth interviews and access to a range of organisations it has been possible to explore the origins, strategy and goals of the various strands of republicanism evident in Northern Ireland today. This book considers the impact of various dissident groupings and their tactics within a post-Good Friday Agreement context and places armed republicanism in Northern Ireland within the broader debate on counter-terrorism after 9/11.
