Anglo-Irish Intergovernmental Conference: Plenary Sessions
The Anglo-Irish Intergovernmental Conference was a consultative body established under the Anglo-Irish Agreement (1985) to promote cross-border cooperation. It was made up of officials from the governments of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland and had a permanent secretariat based in Maryfield.
Northern Ireland Downing Street Joint Declaration (1993)
This project models the series of formal and informal negotiations which led to the publication, in December 1993, of a declaration issued jointly by the British and Irish Governments. The Joint Declaration was a critical policy document which paved the way for a ceasefire and the entry of Sinn Féin into formal talks. It also laid out a shared set of principles – including, crucially, self-determination for the people of Ireland subject to the consent of the people of Northern Ireland – which would come to underpin the Belfast Good Friday Agreement and provide a framework for its ratification.
