Beginning in October 1994, the UDA has declared numerous ceasefires, often as a result of similar declarations made by republican organizations, namely the IRA. However, members of the UDA remained active through the use of cover names such as the Red Hand Defenders (RHD) and Orange Volunteers (OV). Due to its continued feuding, both internally and with other loyalist organizations, and its utilization of cover names, the British government stated in October 2001 that it no longer recognized a UDA ceasefire. <p><br />Plagued by internecine feuds and heavy involvement in organized crime and drug trafficking, the UDA announced in November 2005 that its leadership was reconsidering the group's future due to the standing down of the IRA and the LVF. Since its announcement, the UDA has engaged in internal cleansing, forcefully expelling controversial members and their supporters from the organization and, often, Northern Ireland entirely. Despite these efforts, the Independent Monitoring Commission, established in 2004 to monitor paramilitary organizations in Northern Ireland, announced in April 2006 that the UDA continues to engage in paramilitary and criminal activities, especially drug trafficking and extortion.   <br />

In September 2005, as a result of continued paramilitary activities and violent feuding with other loyalists, the British government announced that it no longer recognized the 1994 UVF ceasefire. Recently, the group's leadership has attempted to distance the UVF from criminal activities, although their success is debatable. The Independent Monitoring Commission, formed in 2004 to monitor paramilitary organizations in Northern Ireland, stated in its April 2006 report that the UVF remained an active and violent paramilitary organization. In May 2007, the group declared that the "IRA's war is over" and as such, it would halt all terrorist activity. Whether or not this represents a step forward in resolving the conflict in Northern Ireland remains to be seen.
