Thirty-Two County Sovereignty Movement

synonyms: Thirty-Two County Sovereignty Movement; 32CSM; 32 County Sovereignty Committee The Thirty-Two County Sovereignty Movement (formerly known as The Thirty County Sovereignty Committee) is a Republican single-issue political groupingwhich is opposed to all aspects of the 'peace process' in Ireland. The group was formed on 7 December 1997 at a meeting of 'dissident' Republicans in Dublin. One of the founding members of the groups was Ms Bernadette Sands McKevitt, the sister of Bobby Sands who died on hunger strike on 5 May 1981. Some commentators believe that the group has political links with the 'real' Irish Republican Army (formed by disaffected PIRA members in November 1997) but this has been denied by both organisations. The 32 CSM launched its own political initiative. “Irish Democracy: A Framework for Unity” in November 2005.
