Description

A joint declaration issued on 15 December 1993 by the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, John Major, and the Taoiseach of the Republic of Ireland, Albert Reynolds. The declaration reaffirmed both the right of the people of Ireland to self-determination, and that a constitutional change in Northern Ireland such as forming a United Ireland was subject to the consent of a majority of the people of Northern Ireland. This Principle of Consent was a bedrock for the Good Friday Agreement.
