Download or read book Torture and Human Rights in Northern Ireland written by Aoife Duffy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-28 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a compelling and highly sophisticated politico-legal history of a particular security operation that resulted in one of the most high-profile torture cases in the world. It reveals the extent to which the Ireland v. United Kingdom judgment misrepresents the interrogation system that was developed and utilised in Northern Ireland. Finally, the truth about the operation is presented in a comprehensive narrative, sometimes corroborating secondary literature already in the public domain, but at other times significantly debunking aphorisms, or, indeed, lies that circulated about interrogation in depth. The book sets out the theoretical reference paradigm with respect to the culture and practice of state denial often associated with torture, and uses this model to excavate the buried aspects of this most famous of torture cases. Through the lens of a single operation, conducted twice, it presents a fascinating exposé of the complicated structures of state-sponsored denial designed to hide the truth about the long-term effects of these techniques and the way in which they were authorised.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various consultative groups, non-governmental bodies, civil society organisations, practitioners, politicians and government ministers have all displayed an interest in exploring the legacy of the conflict in Northern Ireland, yet little attention has been paid to those whose 'truth sharing' experiences have already taken place. This book explores the motivation, significance and consequences of republican former detainees' public narratives about experiences of state violence within the detention system of Northern Ireland. This book examines the diverse range of factors that led to the creation of narratives of trauma, and the ways in which such 'truths' are often contested - both during times of conflict and in the years which follow. Through an original mix of literature, documentary analysis and qualitative interview data, the book disentangles and evaluates the discourses presented by former detainees who feel that they have been the victims of state violence and human rights abuses and makes an important contribution to knowledge about conflict and conflict transformation.

Book excerpt: "Under article 19 of the Convention, each State party has to submit an initial report within one year of the entry into force of the Convention for that State and thereafter a supplementary report (periodic report) every four years. The Committee against Torture has been formed to monitor the implementation of the Convention. At its eleventh session, in 1993, the Committee decided that it would start following the practice of some other UN human rights treaty bodies to adopt concluding observations/comments at the end of the consideration of each State party's report and to use a standard format for the presentation.
Download or read book Unspeakable Acts Ordinary People written by John Conroy and published by Alfred A. Knopf. This book was released on 2000 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling investigation of three incidents of torture in the Western world and what they tell us about how ordinary people can become torturers, about the rationalizations societies adopt to justify torture, about the potential in each of us for acting unspeakably. Using firsthand interviews, official documents, and newspaper accounts, John Conroy examines interrogation practices in a Chicago police station, two raids conducted by the Israeli army, and the case of Northern Ireland's "hooded men," who were tortured by British forces. He takes us inside the experience of the victim, the mind of the torturer, and the seeming indifference of the bystander. In the spirit of Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem, Conroy visits with former torturers, describes their training and family backgrounds, and examines the justifications they and their societies offer for the systematic abuse of men, women, and children. He interviews survivors of torture and learns of the coping mechanisms they deployed and the long-term effects of their ordeals. He draws on those meetings and on previous studies, such as Stanley Milgram's "Obedience to Authority, to help us understand the dynamics of torture. Recent events -- particularly the ethnic cleansing in Kosovo and well-publicized cases of police brutality in our own country -- make it essential that we understand such acts of violence, as the first step in eradicating them. Lucid and unblinking, Unspeakable Acts, Ordinary People takes us further toward this goal than any book we have had yet.
