The Belfast Agreement (Good Friday Agreement)

The Belfast Agreement, also known as the Good Friday Agreement, is a peace deal signed in 1998 that helped end decades of conflict in Northern Ireland. It established a power-sharing government between unionists (who want to remain part of the UK) and nationalists (who want to join Ireland). The agreement promotes cooperation, human rights, and demilitarization, and addresses issues like policing and terrorism. It also involves commitments from both the UK and Irish governments to respect agreed borders and work towards lasting peace. Overall, it aims to foster stability, mutual respect, and political progress in the region.
