The Good Friday Agreement #GFA, signed in 1998, ended most of the violence of #TheTroubles.
It called for a commission to review policing in #NorthernIreland. As a consequence, in 2001, the Royal Ulster Constabulary #RUC was reformed and renamed to #PSNI.
Jon Boutcher, the Chief Constable of the PSNI, leads Operation #Kenova, which has spent the last seven years, and £40m, investigating 101 murders and abductions linked to the #British military double-agent known by the code #Stakeknife.One of the report’s most serious conclusions is that the impunity was discussed at Cabinet level during the conflict and continued until six years after the #IRA ceasefire of 1994 and two years after the Good Friday Agreement.
(Prime Ministers: Margaret #Thatcher, #JohnMajor, Tony #Blair.)
