The Belfast Agreement, David Trimble Jan 1998

The Belfast Agreement, David Trimble

Fordham International Law Journal

Jim Molyneaux and Ian Paisley, the then unionist leadership, began this process in 1987 when they gave alternative proposals to Tom King, the then Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. The Brooke talks ended in apparent failure in November 1992, but from a unionist perspective, in fact made significant progress. There was a period in 1993 when it appeared that the British government was receptive to unionist urging to implement the "strand one committee report." Despite these doubts, we in the Ulster Unionist Party remained in the talks when Sinn Fein, the political wing of the IRA, was admitted in …


Beyond The "Band-Aid" Approach: An Alliance Party Perspective Upon The Belfast Agreement, Stephen Farry, Sean Neeson Jan 1998

Beyond The "Band-Aid" Approach: An Alliance Party Perspective Upon The Belfast Agreement, Stephen Farry, Sean Neeson

Fordham International Law Journal

In the absence of a ready-made solution that could be adopted by the people of Northern Ireland, or a magical formula from the British and Irish Governments, the only alternative lay in locally-mandated political parties negotiating a political agreement. This alternative in turn entailed a common recognition that the zero-sum politics of "winner takes all" ultimately leaves everyone a loser. An accommodation, while requiring each party to sacrifice some of its aspirations, stood to benefit Northern Ireland society as a whole.


'Constructive Ambiguity' Or Internal Self-Determinatinon? Self-Determination, Group Accommodation, And The Belfast Agreement, Christine Bell, Kathleen Cavanaugh Jan 1998

'Constructive Ambiguity' Or Internal Self-Determinatinon? Self-Determination, Group Accommodation, And The Belfast Agreement, Christine Bell, Kathleen Cavanaugh

Fordham International Law Journal

This Essay examines the Belfast Agreement (or "Agreement") in the light of international law on self-determination and minority rights. Northern Ireland cannot be evaluated in a vacuum; already it is being suggested that the Northern Ireland peace process and the formula devised in the 1998 Belfast Agreement may serve as a model for other divided societies. Indeed, this possibility was raised by President Clinton during his September 1998 visit to Belfast and was reiterated by the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights on her more recent visit in December 1998. International law claims to address many of the issues central …
