Parades Commission

The Parades Commission is a regulatory body established in Northern Ireland to oversee and provide permissions for marches and parades, especially those that may cause tension between different communities. Its goal is to facilitate peaceful cultural expressions while maintaining public order and community harmony. The commission reviews applications, sets conditions for marches, and can intervene if events pose a risk of sectarian or violent conflict. It operates independently from political influence, aiming to balance the rights of organizers with the broader interests of safety and peace.
