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.

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.

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 Homeland Security in the UK by : Paul Wilkinson
Download or read book Homeland Security in the UK written by Paul Wilkinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-06-18 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a detailed examination of whether domestic security measures are striking an appropriate balance between homeland security and civil liberties in the post-9/11 era. Professor Paul Wilkinson and the other contributors assess the nature of UK responses to terrorism by key public and private-sector bodies, highlighting how these organizations can prevent, pre-empt, counter and manage terrorist attacks by using a matrix of factors such as types of terrorist networks, tactics and targets. The volume also compares and contrasts the UK's response with cognate states elsewhere in the EU and with the USA. While improved intelligence has helped prevent a major Al Qaeda attack, the authors conclude that there is still a ‘major question mark’ over whether the country is adequately resourced to deal with an emergency situation, particularly in major cities other than London. The book also confirms that while the UK faces a ‘real and serious’ threat of terrorist attack by Al Qaeda, it is better prepared for an attack than other EU member states. Homeland Security in the UK will be essential reading for all students of terrorism studies, security studies and politics, as well as by professional practitioners and well-informed general readers.

Book Synopsis Sixteenth report of the Independent Monitoring Commission by : Independent Monitoring Commission
Download or read book Sixteenth report of the Independent Monitoring Commission written by Independent Monitoring Commission and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2007-09-18 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the fourth and final report from the Independent Monitoring Commission on the progress made in the two year programme of security normalisation begun in August 2005. The monitoring is undertaken in the light of two considerations: an assessment of the paramilitary threat, and the British Government's obligation to ensure the safety and security of the community as a whole. The Commission believes the Provisional IRA is committed to the political path and has abandoned terrorism and violence. Dissident republican groups, however, continue to pose a threat to both the security forces and the community at large. Loyalist paramilitaries do not pose a threat, though the Commission notes that the UDA has made no progress in decommissioning weapons. The security normalisation is examined under several headings: the use of military in support of the Police Service of Northern Ireland; the repeal of counter-terrorist legislation particular to Northern Ireland; the police estate; and patterns of police patrolling. Of particular note is the fact that, for the second year running, the parades of 12 July were policed without the need for military assistance. Various annexes detail the closure of towers, observation posts, and military bases, and the monthly troop levels and military helicopter use in Northern Ireland over the two year period. Overall, the Commission finds that the requirements of the programme have been met.
Book Synopsis Anti-Terrorism Law and Normalising Northern Ireland by : Jessie Blackbourn
Download or read book Anti-Terrorism Law and Normalising Northern Ireland written by Jessie Blackbourn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-08-07 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Northern Ireland peace process has been heralded by those involved as a successful example of transformation from a violent conflict to a peaceful society. This book examines the implementation of the Belfast Agreement in Northern Ireland, and evaluates whether its goal to establish a normal, peaceful society has been fully realised. Using the political and legal status of England, Scotland and Wales as a comparison, Jessie Blackbourn evaluates eight aspects of Northern Ireland which the Agreement aimed to normalise: the contested constitutional status of Northern Ireland, the devolution of power, decommissioning, the removal of emergency laws, demilitarisation, police reform, criminal justice reform, and paramilitary prisoners. The book highlights the historical context which gave rise to the need for a programme of normalisation within the Belfast Agreement with respect to these areas and assesses the extent to which that programme of normalisation has been successfully implemented. By evaluating the implementation of the Belfast Agreement, the book demonstrates the difficulties that transitional or post-conflict states face in attempting to wind back extraordinary counter-terrorism policies after periods of violence have been brought to an end. The book will be of great use to students and researchers concerned with the emergence, evolution and repeal of anti-terrorism laws, and anyone interested in the history of the conflict and peace process in Northern Ireland.

Students of trends, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, journalists and anyone eager for a glimpse into the next decades, will find this report, with colored graphs, essential reading.
Book Synopsis Theories of International Relations and Northern Ireland by : Timothy J. White
Download or read book Theories of International Relations and Northern Ireland written by Timothy J. White and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2017-01-29 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses the case of Northern Ireland to evaluate theoretical approaches in international relations. It investigates the process of negotiation that led to the signing of the Good Friday or Belfast Agreement and the continuing challenges to peace reconciliation in Northern Ireland. Incorporating the work of leading scholars, it explores a wide range of topics, including the function of deception in promoting peace, the question of partition and how it was reimagined by nationalists such as John Hume, and how the decommissioning process led to a role in internal policing for paramilitaries. The influence of outside actors - notably the United States and the European Union - is also considered, along with the involvement of the Catholic Church and the marginalization of women. This book will be important for academics interested in theories of international relations and to a wider public interested in understanding the Northern Ireland peace process.
Book Synopsis Monitoring Fundamental Rights in the EU by : Philip Alston
Download or read book Monitoring Fundamental Rights in the EU written by Philip Alston and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2005-01-26 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coherent laws enforced by a central authority are part of the reason why human rights protection works at the national level in Europe. But when it comes to the EU these dimensions are lacking. The present system for protecting fundamental rights emerged on an ad hoc basis, with measures being improvised to respond to particular problems. In the next couple of years, however, this situation is likely to change very significantly. The proposed European Constitution incorporates the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, and a specialized EU Fundamental Rights Agency is likely to be established. As a result, the situation of the EU will more closely resemble that of its Member States. Fundamental rights will occupy a central role, and coherent and systematic arrangements will be in place to protect rights, using both judicial and non-judicial means. The Fundamental Rights Agency, in particular, has immense potential to ensure effective monitoring of fundamental rights in the EU, and to ensure a unified strategy for their promotion in EU law and policy. This volume is the first to critically examine the proposals put forward by the European Commission in October 2004 on the creation of the EU Fundamental Rights Agency. Leading scholars in the field of European and international human rights law analyse the potential significance of this innovative Agency, and seek to locate it in relation to various other human rights mechanisms, both in the EU's constitutional structure and within Member States. They review the tasks which the Agency could be called upon to perform, and make proposals as to how it can function most effectively. The relationship of EU law to the international law of human rights emerging from both the United Nations and the Council of Europe is examined. The authors also address the challenge of ensuring improved coherence between EU law and the other human rights obligations undertaken by the Member States. Taken together, these contributions address urgent questions facing the EU at a time when the central unifying function of fundamental rights has been recognized but the way forward remains largely uncharted.
Book Synopsis Terrorism, Security and the Power of Informal Networks by : David Martin Jones
Download or read book Terrorism, Security and the Power of Informal Networks written by David Martin Jones and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative work examines the concept of the informal network and its practical utility within the context of counterterrorism. Drawing together a range of practitioner and academic expertise it explores the character and evolution of informal networks, addressing the complex relationship between kinship groups, transnational linkages and the role that globalization and new technologies play in their formation and sustainability. By analysing the informal branch of networked organization in the context of security policy-making, the chapters in this book seek to address three questions: how do informal networks operate? which combination of factors draws individuals to form such networks? what are their structures? Informal networks are necessarily elusive owing to their ad hoc development, amorphous structures and cultural specificity but they are nonetheless pivotal to the way organizations conduct business. Identifying and manipulating such networks is central to effective policy-making. Terrorism, Security and the Power of Informal Networks argues that informal networks are important to policy-makers and their mastery is critical to success both in tackling the challenges of hostile networks and in the processes of organizational reform currently preoccupying governments. Practitioners, policy-makers and researchers in the fields of international politics, international relations, history and political science will find much to interest them in this timely resource.
