	Belfast Agreement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Belfast Agreement (the Good Friday Agreement and, more rarely, as the Stormont Agreement) was a political development in the Northern Ireland peace process.
		It was signed in Belfast on April 10, 1998 (Good Friday) by the British and Irish governments and endorsed by most Northern Ireland political parties.
		The overall result of these problems was to damage confidence among unionists in the Agreement, which was exploited by the anti-Agreement DUP which eventually defeated the pro-Agreement UUP in the 2003 Assembly election.

		BELFAST - The 71 percent vote in favor of the Belfast Agreement has laid strong foundations for a long-term settlement in Northern Ireland.
		The agreement was overwhelmingly endorsed on the Catholic side, though in Belfast it was noticeable that Sinn Fein did little canvassing on its behalf.
		The Belfast Agreement was an extraordinary attempt to do something that has never been done before in the bloody history of Northern Ireland - build a consensus between Nationalists and Unionists on the future of the war-weary province.

		It is common ground between the Opposition and the Government that the Belfast agreement should be upheld and implemented urgently.
		I should not be at all surprised to discover that the Minister of State, when she reads the briefing notes for her speech in response to this debate, will say that the Government are obliged to extend the deadline and that it is not realistic to suppose that decommissioning will be completed by 27 February.
		The Belfast agreement, now in place, provided for the whole process of decommissioning to be completed within two years, by July 2000.

	Suspending judgment
		Five years on from the signing of the Belfast Agreement (popularly known as the Good Friday Agreement) on 10 April 1998 it is unclear if the Northern Ireland peace process can be held up as an example of good practice.
		The Agreement had stated when different processes had to begin, but not when they would be complete, and perhaps his implication was that schemes such as those for decommissioning should be nearing completion.
		This in fact was the intention of the Belfast Agreement: that the conflict over equality and constitutional aspirations would be transferred from the streets into the debating chamber where it might be sorted out by constitutional if not co-operative means.

		Monica McWilliams is a member of the Northern Ireland Assembly for South Belfast, and co-founder of the Northern Ireland Women’s Coalition and senior negotiator in the talks leading to the Belfast Agreement.
		The Belfast Agreement was hailed as a major achievement in the history of relations between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.
		Their rationale was understandable: the Agreement was supposed to herald the demise of direct rule, and the British government was sensitive to how new locally elected politicians might react to a heavy-handed government in London insisting on running the Agreement.

		The Economist is in no doubt that the Belfast Agreement left the IRA the lattitude it would require to conduct organised crime on the scale its accused of.
		It is a curious feature of the Good Friday Agreement, the deal which got Northern Ireland's peace process under way, that while it proscribes a wide range of paramilitary activities, it does not mention organised crimeâ”one of the IRA's main occupations.

		Mr McCartney made clear that opposition in 1998 to the Belfast Agreement was "above all, to the creation of all-Ireland bodies with a capacity for growth and expansion."
		But under the terms of the Agreement these two bodies were merely to be "considered".

		Yes I welcome the very important dimension that IRA decommissioning was to be completed by Christmas but as regards the political dimensions of the Belfast Agreement the DUP’s attempts place us now in a more vulnerable position, using the DUP’s own criteria as the benchmark.
		The DUP accused my party of bringing us closer to a united Ireland because of the Belfast Agreement, that the North/South Ministerial council was not accountable to the Assembly and that Ministers were free to do what they liked on a North/South basis.
		This includes wishing to enhance North/South linkages that, under the terms of the Belfast Agreement, were merely to be considered yet the DUP now supports such moves.
