The problem of Northern Ireland is a struggle for sharing power between the Catholics and the
Protestants. The structural and basic reasons of the problem have played a very important role
in the evolution of it towards civil war. The most important basic reason underlying it is
mutual distrust between parties in Northern Ireland. On this regard some necessary steps are
to be taken for the stability of the peaceful environment established after the conflict. The
normalization of the society and the making of the relations between groups transparent
constitute the rehabilitation process itself. Rehabilitation process ensures the continuation
of confidence building in schools helps with the matter of winning future generations and
also plays an important role in ensuring confidence building in institutions. In sum the
subject of this study is addressing the contributions of the rehabilitation as the protection
of peace to the social reconciliation process as formed by the societies living in Northern
Ireland and its continuation by discussing the rehabilitation process with reference to the
example of Northern Ireland in the phase of transforming conflict. One of the main research
questions of this study is to present the contribution of the rehabilitation process on peace
within the context of conflict administration. In the first part of this book the stage of
