Ceasefire watchdog: Peace process not unravelling

The peace process in the North is not unravelling despite dissident republican efforts to drag the region back to violence, a ceasefire watchdog body said today.

Loyalist paramilitaries are also beginning to face up to the issue of decommissioning their weapons in the face of Government threats to end the amnesty on handing over guns, according to the Independent Monitoring Commission (IMC).
