The topic will be: <strong>\u2018The IRA &#8211; a phenomenon of paramilitary organisation\u2019<\/strong>. <strong>Professor Wawrzyniec Konarski<\/strong>, Rector of Vistula University, will give the lecture. In the speech, he will also announce his new book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The name Irish Republican Army (IRA), has been present in global information circulation with varying intensity since August 1919. It was at this time that sworn, and armed groups began fighting for the Irish war for independence, first with the British police forces, and then with the regular army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hundredth anniversary of the name is an excellent opportunity to recall the organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Wawrzyniec Konarski emphasises that, from the perspective of Ireland\u2019s history, we can view the IRA as a <strong>partisan<\/strong> armed structure, practically the first of its kind in Europe of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a significant number of scientists, journalists, and mainly British, but also Irish politicians, the IRA, since its appearance, has been regarded as a <strong>terrorist<\/strong> organisation. It derives its power from the individual motivation of armed republicans, who above all, ignore the political and legal context of acts of violence claims Professor Konarski.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the laws of the researcher, he will present his views on this issue in his lecture. He believes that we can talk about the admissibility of activities, not so much as terrorist actions, but as guerrilla national liberation, when the oppressive state uses violence, regardless of the existence of legally guaranteed, democratically expressed, and properly functioning mechanisms, to regulate contentious issues. On the other hand, if the growing concessions on the part of the state, considered to be the occupier, do not end, or do not affect the reduction of acts of violence on the part of the opponents of that state, which destroys the chances of reaching conciliatory solutions, then these acts have the features of escalating the conflict of terrorist activities, and should not be called guerrilla actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Konarski emphasises that political terrorism with exclusively criminal effects is, from the interests of the community fighting to change its status quo, politically counter-productive. In terms of image, we saw this in the IRA&#8217;s military operations, including its organisational mutations, but it is also not exclusive. Everything has its time and context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We cordially invite all those interested, to come to room 21, on October the 29th, 2019, at 10.00 am.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\" c-simple-buttons    \"\n  id=\"\">\n\n  \n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n<section classs=\"o-section c-shared-post\">\n  <div class=\"o-wrapper c-shared-post__container o-flex o-flex--grids o-flex--centered-v o-flex--space-between\">\n     <span class=\"c-shared-post__title u-font-color--1\">Share this post <\/span>\n        <div class=\"c-shared-post__social-content\"> \n                       <a class=\"c-shared-post__social-link c-link-social\" href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&amp;url=&amp;title=\" target=\"_blank\"><svg width=\"40\" height=\"40\" viewBox=\"0 0 40 40\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path class=\"c-link-social__bg\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M20 40C31.0457 40 40 31.0457 40 20C40 8.95435 31.0457 0 20 0C8.95435 0 0 8.95435 0 20C0 31.0457 8.95435 40 20 40ZM11.5765 15.7908H15.1901C15.2697 15.7908 15.3417 15.8228 15.3942 15.8745C15.4474 15.9272 15.4805 16.0002 15.4805 16.0811V27.6897C15.4805 27.8501 15.3505 27.9802 15.1901 27.9802H11.5765C11.4163 27.9802 11.2863 27.8501 11.2863 27.6897V16.0811C11.2863 16.0559 11.2896 16.0315 11.2955 16.0081C11.2999 15.9912 11.3058 15.9749 11.313 15.9592C11.3262 15.9307 11.3438 15.9045 11.365 15.8821C11.418 15.8259 11.4932 15.7908 11.5765 15.7908ZM13.3845 10.0198C12.0697 10.0198 11 11.0884 11 12.4016C11 13.7156 12.0697 14.7844 13.3845 14.7844C14.6982 14.7844 15.7671 13.7156 15.7671 12.4016C15.7671 11.0884 14.6982 10.0198 13.3845 10.0198ZM21.2064 16.835C21.8571 16.1262 22.9299 15.5022 24.3812 15.5022C28.4513 15.5022 29.0001 18.4443 29.0001 21.3223V27.6899C29.0001 27.8503 28.8701 27.9802 28.7097 27.9802H25.1028C24.9424 27.9802 24.8125 27.8503 24.8125 27.6899V22.0457C24.8125 20.4656 24.6957 19.2566 23.2263 19.2566C21.8771 19.2566 21.3514 20.0107 21.3514 21.9463V27.6897C21.3514 27.8501 21.2214 27.9802 21.061 27.9802H17.4554C17.295 27.9802 17.1652 27.8501 17.1652 27.6897V16.0811C17.1652 15.9207 17.295 15.7908 17.4554 15.7908H20.916C21.0764 15.7908 21.2064 15.9207 21.2064 16.0811V16.835Z\" fill=\"black\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/a> \n                                  <a class=\"c-shared-post__social-link c-link-social\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share.php?u=&#038;title=\" target=\"_blank\"><svg width=\"40\" height=\"40\" viewBox=\"0 0 40 40\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path class=\"c-link-social__bg\" d=\"M20 40C31.0457 40 40 31.0457 40 20C40 8.95431 31.0457 0 20 0C8.95431 0 0 8.95431 0 20C0 31.0457 8.95431 40 20 40Z\" fill=\"black\"\/>\n<path d=\"M21.8667 31.8666V21.0666H25.4667L26 16.8H21.8667V14.1333C21.8667 12.9333 22.2667 12.1333 24 12.1333H26.2667V8.26663C25.8667 8.26663 24.5333 8.1333 23.0667 8.1333C19.8667 8.1333 17.6 10.1333 17.6 13.7333V16.8H14V21.0666H17.6V31.8666H21.8667Z\" fill=\"white\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/a>  \n                   <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Institute of International Relations invites you to the first academic seminar this October, on the 29th.
