Terror and the Right to Life in Gibraltar Terror and the Right to Life in Gibraltar: Monsters, Martyrs and Competing Memories Jonathan Cooper Doughty Street Chambers Who were the ‘Gibraltar Three’? Daniel McCann Seán Savage ‘High Ranking Intelligence Operative’ ‘Explosives Expert’ “You have to be realistic. You realise that you’re either going to be dead or end up in jail. It’s one or the other. You’re not going to run forever.” The Target Why Gibraltar? • An attempt to counter widespread shock and anger in wake of Enniskillen. • A symbol of enduring British imperialism. • A ‘thank you’ to Colonial Gaddafi? • Tactic of ‘scaling up operations’ Operation Flavius The Events: A Timeline Three meet Families take Savage ‘Death on British aware by parked unsuccessful drives over the Rock’ of planned car, leave on action in HC border broadcast IRA attack on foot Northern Spanish soil 1:00pm 3.30pm 28 April Ireland 6 March 6 March 1988 March 1990 Late 1987 1988 1988 12:00 2.30pm 4:00pm 30 September 6 March 6 March 6 March 1988 1988 1988 1988 Three set McCann Three shot Gibraltar Inquest off and Farrell by SAS Verdict: towards cross border soldiers Lawful Killing Gibraltar on foot British Government’s Shifting Stories 6th March @ 16:45: ‘a suspected bomb found in Gibraltar and three suspects shot by civilian police’ (MoD statement) 6th March @ 21:00: Security forces involved in shooting and had ‘dealt with a suspect bomb’.

The fact that they all came in the space of two weeks made you feel - what the hell is going to happen next? What kind of cliff edge are we really at in Northern Ireland?’ -Bill Neely, Belfast journalist reporting for BBC. Reaction in Ireland: Misgivings and Martyrs • Hostile Public mood towards British policy. • Republican perspective: propaganda harvest, operational failure. • Outpouring of sympathy in diaspora communities. • Irish government ‘gravely perturbed’. Reaction in the UK: Shady SAS or Heroic Soldiers? Impact of ECtHR on Collective Memory Republican Narrative: • ‘Now the entire military and legal apparatus which has been used to fight Britain’s war has been challenged before the world’ (Republican News, 1995) • Collective Memory as Selective Memory: Over simplification and amnesia Impact of ECtHR on Collective Memory British Narrative • Government maintained judgment ‘defied common sense’ and was ‘incomprehensible’. • ‘If we were faced with similar circumstances as those in Gibraltar, I have not the slighted doubt that the same decisions would be taken.’ (Michael Heseltine,1995) .

  • Urban Planning Approaches in Divided Cities
    ITU A|Z • Vol 13 No 1 • March 2016 • 139-156 Urban planning approaches in divided cities Gizem CANER1, Fulin BÖLEN2 1 [email protected] • Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Graduate School of Science, Engineering and Technology, Istanbul Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey 2 [email protected] • Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Faculty of Architecture, Istanbul Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey Received: April 2014 • Final Acceptance: December 2015 Abstract This paper provides a comparative analysis of planning approaches in divided cities in order to investigate the role of planning in alleviating or exacerbating urban division in these societies. It analyses four urban areas—Berlin, Beirut, Belfast, Jerusalem—either of which has experienced or still experiences extreme divisions related to nationality, ethnicity, religion, and/or culture. Each case study is investigated in terms of planning approaches before division and after reunifi- cation (if applicable). The relation between division and planning is reciprocal: planning effects, and is effected by urban division. Therefore, it is generally assumed that traditional planning approaches are insufficient and that the recognized engagement meth- ods of planners in the planning process are ineffective to overcome the problems posed by divided cities. Theoretically, a variety of urban scholars have proposed different perspectives on this challenge. In analysing the role of planning in di- vided cities, both the role of planners, and planning interventions are evaluated within the light of related literature. The case studies indicate that even though different planning approaches have different consequences on the ground, there is a universal trend in harmony with the rest of the world in reshaping these cities.
