Is there a list of crimes committed by the British government/army in Ireland, specifically in the troubles?

I've a Brit friend who's a good lad, if a bit uneducated on the Troubles. Up until I mentioned the official financing of loyalist paramilitary groups, shooting of unarmed protesters etc, he had no idea the government themselves committed any crimes and thought it was just the Ra setting off a few car bombs.

So out of curiosity is there any comprehensive list that details the various crimes? Either for the Troubles or in general

What happened with the list of british socialists George Orwell handed to the british government?

While Orwell was a self proclaimed socialist and even participated in the spanish civil war and wrote about the spanish socialist communities of that time, he is viewed as a mere traitor by many modern socialists.

I know that he handed a list of socialists (and gays?) to the british government. But do we know why he did that? And what exactly happened to the people on the list afterwards?
