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.

Session 29389: 1993-12-10 10:00:00

[Exact date and time unknown] During a meeting between Irish officials and Roderic Lyne, the Irish delegation proposed amendments that they said had been initially suggested by John Hume. Since one of the amendments was to a British government amendment reported to the Irish government on the evening of 9 December 1993, the editors have modelled a bilateral meeting with John Hume on the morning of 10 December 1993.
