This article examines a critical aspect of the contemporary political debate in \nNorthern Ireland regarding ‘the past’, and how to deal with the legacies of violent conflict. \nThe article will specifically analyse the Provisional republican movement’s developing policy \nin this area. It outlines Sinn Féin’s (SF’s) policy evolution with regard to ideas of ‘truth and \nreconciliation’ in the context of the post-Belfast Agreement era of ‘peace’. It proceeds to \ncritically assess the Republican movement’s demands for an independent and international \nprocess of ‘truth recovery’, and subsequently engages in a detailed critique of SF’s recent \npromotion of a ‘reconciliation strategy’, designed to enhance the movement’s strategic \nagenda, and usher in a new phase in the ‘peace process’. The article concludes by arguing \nthat SF’s approach to ‘truth and reconciliation’ has been characterised by an emphasis upon \nthe movement’s efforts to legitimise its version of the historical narrative of the Troubles, \nrather than by any authentic attempt to address self-critically the previous commitment to \n‘armed struggle’, or to seek genuine compromise with unionists, loyalists and the broader \nProtestant population. This approach has also been formulated for an internal audience, with \nthe goal of convincing republicans that progress towards a united Ireland has not stalled
