A New Beginning: Policing in Northern Ireland — Report of the Independent Commission on Policing (Patten Report)

Independent Commission on Policing for Northern Ireland (Chair: Chris Patten) · HMSO, September 1999

tlte-cite:patten-report-1999

Editorial gloss

175-recommendation framework for post-conflict civilian-policing reform in Northern Ireland — canonical reference for community accountability, representative recruitment, separation from security-force culture. TLTE cites as COMPARATIVE FRAME ONLY: the NI context required a negotiated peace agreement, parliamentary legislation, and sustained international monitoring — none exist in Sri Lanka. Never to be presented as a model that 'could' be applied without those preconditions.
