Northern Ireland Victims Commission

The Commission was set up in October 1997by Marjorie (Mo) Mowlam, then Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, to investigate how the victims of 'the Troubles' should be remembered. Headed by Sir Kenneth Bloomfield, a former Head of the Northern Ireland Civil Service, the Commission began its work and consulted with a broad range of interested parties. In its published report, 'We Will Remember Them' (1998), a series of recommendations were made to the British government.
