Misleading perceptions of NI conflict related convictions NI Anglo-Irish Conflict 1968-1998.

Presumably, any individual described as an IRA man should be confined to anyone that was charged with membership of a proscribed unlawful paramilitary organisation? If not? Then other assumptions may or may not be potentially defamatory? Notwithstanding, fair employment best practices. I. E. Also specifically, as to NI Conflict Related Offences ( Anglo-Irish Northern Irish Conflict 1968-1998) In particular, a sentence of five years or less may or may not be a factor or not? The age of this man at the time of former RUC interrogations - ( earlier on - often with legally held firearms present, during police interviews? Potentially used to threaten and intimate suspects? This of course, was further confounded by the pre planned suspension of the "Judge's Rules" ? In this context, it may be noteworthy, that those under twenty one years of pursuant NI Treatment of offenders Act 1968, were not supposed to be imprisoned, in an adult prison facility or receive an adult sentence? Presumably, if found guilty detained under the pleasure of the Sectatary of State for Northern Ireland?

If none of these are applicable - is this an outworking of the Belfast Agreement 1998 supporting legislation. In this instance, The Sentencing (Northern Ireland) 1998. I. E. An international law recognised amnesty provision? If charged with membership of a proscribed unlawful paramilitary organisation or not? This is via the Diplock Courts not in a properly constituted criminal court with a judge and jury and the regular rules of evidence and disclosure? Without access to a solicitor: and or an appropriate adult? Depending on if this was during the period of the dual system of Internment without trial and the Special Diplock Courts? Potentially in relation to the ECHR 1950, this may have been unlawful, in real time.? (1973 to December 1975?) There also appears to be a type of anomaly, in relation to pre Internment offences against the British State of Northern Ireland?

The real question or issue may be - was HMG's policy of "Criminalisation" A predominant ulterior political and security agenda, aimed at maintaining a presence on the Island of Ireland? As a consequence, potentially at variance with the current standards of fairness domestic and international laws: and or ECHR 1950 Articles 3,5,6,7,8,10,12,13,14, 15, 17 and 18?
