Dealing with the Past in Northern Ireland
Fordham International Law Journal Volume 26, Issue 4 2002 Article 9 Dealing With the Past in Northern Ireland Christine Bell∗ ∗ Copyright c 2002 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj Dealing With the Past in Northern Ireland Christine Bell Abstract This Article “audits” Northern Ireland’s discrete mechanisms for dealing with the past, with a view to exploring the wider transitional justice debates. An assessment of what has been done so far is vital to considering what the goals of addressing the past might be, what future developments are useful or required, and what kind of mechanisms might successfully be employed in achieving those goals. DEALING WITH THE PAST IN NORTHERN IRELAND Christine Bell* INTRODUCTION The term "transitional justice" has increasingly been used to consider how governments in countries emerging from deeply rooted conflict address the legacy of past human rights viola- tions.' While the term has a pedigree dating back to the Nuremburg Tribunals, three contemporary factors have reinvig- orated interest.2 The first factor is the prevalence of negotiated agreements as the preferred way of resolving internal conflicts. Premised on some degree of compromise between those who were engaged militarily in the conflict, these compromises affect whether and how the past is dealt with. As Huyse notes, the wid- est scope for prosecutions arises in the case of an overthrow or "victory" where virtually no political limits on retributive punish- * Professor Bell is the Chair in Public International Law, Transitional Justice Insti- tute, School of Law, University of Ulster, and a former member of the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission.

PlayStation 4 users expecting to be able to watch YouTube on their video game consoles remain out of luck, as the outages that consumers suffered over the weekend continue – but now there is a workaround. On Friday, people found that trying to sign in to YouTube resulted in an error code NP-37602-8 and users were booted out of the sign-in page, leaving them unable to watch videos and uninformed about what caused the error or what could be done to remedy it. The problems are continuing, with YouTube suggesting it had yet more work to do and that it was "taking longer than expected".

Conflict Transformation and the Loyalist Paramilitaries of Northern Ireland
“Taking Responsibility”: Conflict Transformation and the Loyalist Paramilitaries of Northern Ireland Britt Sloan April 2011 Senior Honors Thesis International Relations, Tufts University Advisors: Eileen Babbitt, The Fletcher School Kelly Greenhill, Tufts University ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank the leadership of the Ulster Defense Association, the Ulster Volunteer Force, the Ulster Political Research Group, and the Progressive Unionist Party for their generous time and contributions to this work. Their willingness to welcome me into their communities afforded me opportunities to acquire insights that I would otherwise have never been able to gain, and their honesty in explaining a troubled history and a hopeful future was truly enlightening. In addition, thank you to those who offered advice and analysis throughout my travels in Belfast and upon my return home. I would also like to acknowledge my advisors, Professor Eileen Babbitt for her gracious acceptance of an undergraduate advisee and for her unstinting encouragement and Professor Kelly Greenhill for her astute critiques and for making time in her busy schedule. I would like to give a special thank you to Allan Leonard of the Northern Ireland Foundation for his incredible mentorship, Quintin Oliver of Stratagem for sharing with me his endless networks, and Tony Novosel for his constant enthusiasm and guidance. Although they had no obligation to support my research, they have always made themselves available to discuss, debate, and advise. Most importantly, this research would not have been possible without the financial support of Sherman Teichman and the Tufts Institute for Global Leadership and of the Tufts Undergraduate Research Fund. Finally, thank you to all those who are “taking responsibility” for conflict transformation and working to build peaceful societies.

He took over the reins in 2002 when the faction based in the Westland housing estate was in a struggle for supremacy with Johnny Adair. I met the late ‘brigadier’ in a house in the loyalist estate in the midst of the turmoil. The 1980s development is located between the Cavehill and Cliftonville roads. About 20 of his associates were holed up in the house, including the late Eddie McClean, a veteran Shore Road loyalist. The house was buzzing as the occupants within had just returned from a court hearing regarding Andre Shoukri. They were walking from room to room, none seemed to have any work to go to and they were settled in the house, appearing to feel safe in numbers.

Body of Alan Mccullough Found
The Burning Bush—Online article archive Body of Alan McCullough found UDA man, Alan McCullough's body was found on Thursday 5th June in a shallow grave on the out- skirts of north Belfast. The loyalist paramilitary Ul- ster Freedom Fighters has admitted killing the 21- year-old from the Shankill area of the city. Two men have been arrested in connection with the murder. Mr McCullough's brother, Kenny, said he did not want anyone else to suffer in the way his family were suffering. “Anybody else getting killed is not going to bring my brother back,” he said. "My brother is gone. I don't want another family to go through what we've been through. My mother went through this 22 years ago when my father was killed and it's just coming back to her two-fold. It's just not a nice thing to happen and I just hope it doesn't happen to anyone else.” The loyalist paramilitary terrorist group, the Ulster Freedom Fighters, has admitted the kill- ing in a call to the BBC, using a recognised codeword. It linked Mr McCullough to the feud killing of Ulster Defence Association leader John Gregg and to the killing of Jonathan Stew- art in north Belfast shortly after Christmas. Protest A group of about 60 women and children protested against the murder on Friday evening, walking along the Shankill Road carrying a banner and placards. Mr McCullough had been missing since he left his home in the Shankill area of Belfast on 28 May. Last weekend, po- lice said they feared he had been murdered.
