The Ulster Constitution Defence Committee (UCDC) was established in Northern Ireland in April 1966 as the governing body of the loyalist Ulster Protestant Volunteers (UPV). It coordinated parades, counter-demonstrations, and paramilitary activities to maintain the status quo of the government, led a campaign against the reforms of Terence O'Neill and stymied the civil rights movement.
