UDA Resolve Scheme Moves Towards Official Recognition

A community restorative justice group in east Belfast with links to the Ulster Defence Association (UDA), a paramilitary group, is moving towards official recognition.

A review by the Criminal Justice Inspection Northern Ireland (CJINI) found the Resolve scheme was making a "useful contribution in a fragmented community".

The scheme, which is two years old, offers non-violent resolutions to disputes within the community.

It will now enter the second stage of the accreditation process.
