	Peace lines - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The Peace Lines are a series of separation barriers ranging in length from a few hundred yards to over three miles, separating Protestant and Catholic neighbourhoods in Belfast, Derry and elsewhere in Northern Ireland.
		The most prominent barriers in the past few years separates the mainly Catholic Short Strand and the mainly Protestant Cluan Place areas of East Belfast, and also the predominantly nationalist Falls Road and loyalist Shankill Road areas in West Belfast.

	New Statesman - Apartheid
		Peace has brought more segregation for Northern Ireland's people, and the government is colluding in the change.
		In the Ardoyne district of Belfast, for example, four out of every five Protestant residents will not use the nearest shops because they are located in Catholic streets, and the same proportion of Catholics will not swim in their nearest swimming pool because it is in a Protestant street.
		And those peace lines - usually high walls snaking along the demographic faults, crossing roads and slicing streets in two - are proliferating: there are twice as many today as there were a decade ago.

		Many note that stable peace must be built on social, economic, and political foundations that serve the needs of the populace.[13] In many cases, crises arise out of systemic roots.
		Many believe that the greatest resource for sustaining peace in the long term is always rooted in the local people and their culture.[65] Parties should strive to understand the cultural dimension of conflict, and identify the mechanisms for handling conflict that exist within that cultural setting.
		Peacebuilding is a process that facilitates the establishment of durable peace and seeks to prevent the recurrence of violence by addressing root causes and effects of conflict.

		The Belfast Agreement (also known as the Good Friday Agreement and, more rarely, as the Stormont Agreement) was signed in Belfast on April 10, 1998 by the British and Irish Governments and endorsed by most Northern Ireland political parties.
		The Troubles were brought to an uneasy end by a peace process which included the declaration of ceasefires by most paramilitary organisations, the corresponding withdrawal of most troops from the streets and the reform of the police, as agreed by the signatories to the Belfast Agreement (commonly known as the Good Friday Agreement).
		Though the number of active participants in the Troubles was relatively small, and the paramilitary organisations that claimed to represent the communities were sometimes unrepresentative of the general population, the Troubles touched the lives of most people in Northern Ireland on a daily basis, while occasionally spreading to Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland.

		The problem with that possibility is that if the DUP, who expect to be the largest party, didn't agree the government would be forced to write in a destabilising sanction along the lines of suspending the Assembly in the event the date was not met.
		Every crackpot outside the peace process would hold the future in their hands rather than in the hands of elected representatives.
		Quite a number of options exist in the political process if the DUP help create a date for the devolution of policing and justice and the position of Sinn Fein is proving dubious.

		Officials in the North have announced plans to extend two of the so-called "peace-lines" in Belfast ahead of the upcoming loyalist marching season.
		The "peace-lines" between the Shankill Road and Falls Road areas in the west of the city and between the Short Strand and the Newtownards Road in the east of the city will be raised by 15 feet as part of the plans.
		The loyalist marching season has traditionally sparked clashes between nationalist and loyalist youths living on either side of the "peace-lines", which are a series of massive fences erected to keep the two communities apart.

		When I went to Belfast in October 2000 I observed that the children have the most difficulties with the situation: many of them grow up in a socially underprivileged environment; their parents are often unemployed, addicted to alcohol or drugs, sometimes even in prison.
		Thus, children in Northern Ireland have to live a miserable childhood: they do not have sufficient possibilities to play because the streets are often too dangerous; they do not receive much attention and even less affection from their parents; they are behind in their development and often malnourished.
		All of the socially weak families in Belfast are counselled by social workers.
