 | | These institutions have been suspended since 2002 because of unionist impatience at the pace of Sinn Féin's movement away from its associations with the Provisional IRA, which reached breaking point after PSNI allegations of spying by people working for Sinn Féin at the Assembly, although nobody was convicted after a high-profile police operation. | | | Foreign flags are also found, such as the Palestinian flags in some Nationalist areas and Israeli flags in some Unionist areas, which represent general comparisons made by both sides with conflicts in the wider world. | | | ^ Lord Scarman, "Violence and Civil Disturbances in Northern Ireland in 1969: Report of Tribunal of Inquiry" Belfast: HMSO, Cmd 566. |

| | INAC is an American-based humanitarian organization that raises funds for political prisoners and their families in Northern Ireland. | | | An IRA splinter group, the "Real IRA," claims responsibility for the bombing, the single worst terrorist incident during "The Troubles." Across all of Northern Ireland, the public is revulsed by the violence. | | | Addresses such issues as respect for human rights, civil liberties, and political rights; the governmental attitude regarding international and nongovernmental investigation of alleged human rights violations; a discussion of discrimination based on race, gender, religion, disability, language, or social status; and a discussion of worker rights. |

| | In Feb., 2000, however, Britain suspended self-government after the IRA refused to agree to disarm, but subsequent concessions by the IRA led to the resumption of self-government in May. Continued resistance by the IRA to disarming has threatened self-government and led Trimble to resign on July 1, 2001. | | | Negotiations on disarming the IRA and other paramilitary groups, however, were relatively fruitless until late 2001, when the IRA began disarming; Trimble subsequently returned to office. | | | However, both the IRA and Protestant extremists sought to destroy the Executive and the Council, as they found power-sharing between Protestants and Catholics unacceptable. |

| | CAIN: Conflict in Northern Ireland: A Background Essay |
| | So the broad outlines of the current conflict in Northern Ireland had been sketched out within fifty years of the plantation: the same territory was occupied by two hostile groups, one believing the land had been usurped and the other believing that their tenure was constantly under threat of rebellion. | | | It has been speculated that this rise in loyalist violence may be connected to the failure of recent political talks. | | | It was opposed by the Democratic Unionist Party and most of the Ulster Unionist party, but eventually was brought down through a Protestant workers' strike in May 1974. |

| | In turn, Catholics were to suspend the goal of a united Ireland—a territorial claim that was the raison d'être of the IRA and was written into the Irish Republic's constitution—unless the largely Protestant North voted in favor of such an arrangement, an unlikely occurrence. | | | In Feb. 2006, the Independent Monitoring Commission (IMC), a watchdog agency monitoring Northern Irish paramilitary groups, reported that although the IRA “seems to be moving in the right direction,” dissident republican paramilitaries are still engaged in violence and crime. | | | British troops were brought in to separate them but themselves became a target of Catholics, particularly by the IRA, which by this time had turned into a full-fledged terrorist movement. |

| | Following the defeat of the Catholic James II (1685-88) by the Protestant William of Orange (1689-1702) at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, most of the land in Ireland was handed over to Protestant control. | | | The Government of Ireland Act of 1920 recognised this de facto religious division by splitting the country into two separate political units, a predominantly Catholic south and a predominantly Protestant north. | | | It created a 108-member Assembly and 14-member executive body in which both Catholic and Protestant political representatives sit together in government, only the second time such power-sharing has occurred since 1920 (the first was the short-lived Sunningdale Agreement of 1973-74). |
