Downing Street Declaration, 15 December 1993

Writing Peace: George J. Mitchell Collection

This document contains the Joint Declaration issued by John Major and Albert Reynolds on 15 December 1993. In the declaration, Major reaffirmed that the British Government had no selfish strategic or economic interest in Northern Ireland and pledged support for the democratic wishes of its majority regarding constitutional status. Reynolds acknowledged the Irish Government's acceptance of the principle that self-determination for the island of Ireland should respect the consent of the Northern Irish majority. He also committed to respecting civil and religious rights of both traditions in any future political arrangement. Reynolds further recognized the unionist community's concerns with certain elements of the Irish constitution and pledged support for constitutional changes as part of an overall settlement. The declaration also stipulated the creation of the Forum for Peace and Reconcilation, where parties could discuss and recommend ways in which trust between the two communities could be promoted. Both governments emphasized that any agreement to promote peace, stability, and reconciliation in Northern Ireland would encompass relationships within Northern Ireland, across Ireland, and between Britain and Ireland, including their partnership in the European Union.
