This book employs a transitional justice lens to address the
'disappearances' that occurred during the Northern Ireland conflict
- or 'Troubles' - and the post-conflict response to these
'disappearances.' Despite an extensive literature around 'dealing
with the past' in Northern Ireland, as well as a substantial body
of scholarship on 'disappearances' in other national contexts,
there has been little scholarly scrutiny of 'disappearances' in
post-conflict Northern Ireland. Although the Good Friday Agreement
brought relative peace to Northern Ireland, no provision was made
for the establishment of some form of overarching truth and
reconciliation commission aimed at comprehensively addressing the
legacy of violence. Nevertheless, a mechanism to recover the
remains of the 'disappeared' - the Independent Commission for the
Location of Victims' Remains (ICLVR) - was established, and has in
fact proven to be quite effective. As a result, the reactions of
key constituencies to the 'disappearances' can be used as a prism
through which to comprehensively explore issues of relevance to
transitional justice scholars and practitioners. Pursuing an
interdisciplinary approach, and based on extensive empirical
research, this book provides a multifaceted exploration of the
responses of these constituencies to the practice of
'disappearing.' It engages with transitional justice themes
including silence, memory, truth, acknowledgement, and apology. Key
issues examined include the mobilisation efforts of families of the
'disappeared,' efforts by a (former) non-state armed group to
address its legacy of violence, the utility of a limited immunity
mechanism to incentivise information provision, and the interplay
between silence and memory in the shaping of a collective, societal
understanding of the 'disappeared.'
