A group in Derry has called for the RUC to be withdrawn from nationalist areas and replaced by an EU police service.
The recommendation was made in a report, published yesterday by the Pat Finucane Centre, into the civil unrest in the North during and after the Drumcree stand off last month.
The report called for an international inquiry into the death of Mr Dermot McShane, who was killed when he was run over by a British army Land Rover during rioting in Derry.
It said the RUC was mainly responsible for the civil unrest in the city and alleged that, the police continued to "act in a manner which is explicitly sectarian in character and which has undermined the last vestiges of confidence" which some nationalists might have had in it.
At least 332 people in Derry were injured, many seriously, when they were hit by plastic bullets during the disturbances, the report claimed.
It described the RUC's use of plastic bullets as "designed to inflict massive injuries and even death, on many people in the city.
