The second report by the Independent Reporting Commission takes a wider look at the ongoing problem of paramilitary criminality in Northern Ireland.
It recognises that the issue of organised 'badged' paramilitary activity - criminality wrapped in a flag - is unique to Northern Ireland and so requires a bespoke process to bring it to an end.
Removing assets from those involved in criminality, to show the community that they are not untouchable, is key.
Unexplained wealth orders that reverse the burden of proof on those who live off the proceeds of criminality are among the suggestions.
But a wider process that helps target the deprivation, educational underachievement and lack of opportunity that creates a fertile recruitment ground for those groups still bringing young men into their ranks is also looked at.
The idea that paramilitary structures still exists 25 years after the ceasefires is a shocking failure of the peace process.
The unresolved legacy issue and what role former paramilitary figures will play in any truth recovery process, the Brexit crisis which has emboldened dissident republicans and united loyalists have slowed the process of removing paramilitary organisations from the stage.
The proposals made by the IRC are well considered and see the issue as part of a wider societal problem.
However, without an executive to pass proposed legislative changes many of the key proposals may not be possible in the short term.
While we are closer to understanding why these organisations remain active in society, it is debatable whether we are any closer to seeing them disbanded permanently.
