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 Good Friday Agreement and provide a framework for its ratification.
