Offering a presentation on long-standing human rights violations and governmental stonewalling of inquiries and reforms in Northern Ireland, human rights attorneys will discuss their experiences as well as proposals for human rights reform. Case profiles that will be discussed include the representation of victims and the reopening of inquests in the Claudy atrocity, Kingsmill, Loughlinisland massacres, and the Dublin/Monaghan Bombing, as well as investigations of sanctioned involvement of the security services in these and other high profile cases from the past 40 years. Dr. Tony Novosel, Professor of History, will provide an introduction and background on the history of collusion in Northern Ireland and its effects on both communities. An opportunity for Q & A will follow the presentation.
