The Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) is a loyalist paramilitary group in Northern Ireland. The UVF's declared goals were to combat Irish republicanism – particularly republican paramilitaries - and to maintain Northern Ireland's status as part of the United Kingdom. The vast majority (more than two-thirds) of its 481 known victims were Catholic civilians. The group is a designated terrorist organisation in the United Kingdom and a proscribed organization in the Republic of Ireland.VideoVideo: 1972 documentary focuses on the hunt for Ulster Volunteer Force leader Gusty Spence - apparently abducted in Belfast, Northern Ireland while on temporary release from prison for his daughters wedding.

Groups and individuals included in TRAC's database range from actual perpetrators of social or political violence to more passive groups that support or condone (perhaps unwittingly) such violence. The spectrum of violence represented by these groups is vast, from Jihadists who bomb train stations to financial institutions that transfer funds. Some groups that originally engaged in violence but have since become legitimate political parties are included to provide historical perspective. TRAC is in no way attempting to determine whether groups or individuals are terrorists -- only to convey reported information about their activities and official State status. While TRAC attempts to ensure the accuracy of its TRAC database, the entries in the database are from numerous different sources. Hence, TRAC cannot and does not warrant the accuracy of the entries in its database. The editors of TRAC may modify these entries at any time and welcome comments and suggested corrections or additions. Please write [email protected] or hit the "SUBMIT ADDITIONS" button on the page of the group profile about which you wish to comment.
