#ECHR #GoodFridayAgreement
Today marks 28 years since the signing of the #GoodFridayAgreement. The agreement brought a peace that allowed communities to flourish, but #Brexit threatens to destabilise that peace daily.

On this day 28 years ago, the #GoodFridayAgreement was signed. This remarkable document – made possible by political leadership, vision, and compromise – helped end a cycle of violence that had continued for 30 years on the island of #Ireland […]
[Original post on mastodon.ie]
The #GoodFridayAgreement was signed on #ThisDayInHistory in 1998 by the UK, #Ireland, and #SinnFéin for the #IRA. Its goal of a devolved government, dismantling #ethnocracy, and ending #TheTroubles has been largely successful, even if an artificial border still divides families.
A momentous day! #GoodFridayAgreement
Today marks 28 years since the #GoodFridayAgreement.
It is proof that peace is possible. But #Iran, #Gaza & #Ukraine remind us that it can never be taken for granted.
Now more than ever, we need the political bravery and leadership of John Hume to choose dialogue over violence.
Four pictures of memorabilia from the Derry Girls final episode - the family outside their house, a two page spread of Lisa McGee's script, a mock polling station ballot box, and a book of the Goof Friday Agreement beside ID cards for the five main characters of the shoe.
There's a wee museum in Derry dedicated to Derry Girls memorabilia.
Today is a good day to watch the amazing final episode, centred on our Good Friday Agreement, again.

Not much of substance behind #MicheálMartin 's dismissal of an #IrishUnity poll:
"Taoiseach said that the #SharedIsland initiative… was the most important proposal for reunification since the #GoodFridayAgreement…
"most important thing…right now…is…cultural matters, poetry, literature""

#ECHR 2/4
Peace in Northern Ireland isn't just a "given"—it’s built into the ECHR. Reform UK plans to renegotiate the Good Friday Agreement and repeal the Human Rights Act. Why gamble with our peace to "take back control"? 🚩 #ECHR #GoodFridayAgreement #ReformUK
This is not a nice, polite “policy overview” you skim with a biscuit and then forget

The path to the #GoodFridayAgreement wound through events like the #DocklandsBombing, #ThisDayInHistory in 1996. UK demanded #ProvisionalIRA disarm before peace talks, so they caused £150 million in damage & killed two with a massive explosion; London promptly dropped the demand.
OK....this is 😳😳 #GoodFridayAgreement

In a world of no rules, there are no rights & no rules.
Kosovo, Crimea, Donbas, Golan,West Bank, East Jerusalem, Gaza, Taiwan... Where exactly is the single process or set of rules by which these territory disputes get settled? Why is it not all more or less like #GoodFridayAgreement?

No withdrawal of Israeli troops from #Gaza unless #Hamas disarms.
It seems that someone has been made aware of the terms of the #GoodFridayAgreement?!!

It was, at last, recognition by the English, that the people of Ireland and Northern Ireland should decide – by mutual consent and by peaceful political debate – how the Irish should organize their governments. It was an important part of the Good Friday Agreement that, for the most part, put an end to the para-military conflict in Ireland called “The Troubles.”

On this day in 1993, British and Irish leaders issued the Downing Street Declaration.

That separation became the backbone of the Good Friday Agreement.
For anyone observing today’s Kurdish issue from abroad, the lesson is universal… Peace is built with those who carry democratic mandates, not with those who define themselves by the gun.

The Troubles of Ireland were similar to the conflict between Israel and Palestinians and Arab nations. Perhaps #GerryAdams and others available from the #GoodFridayAgreement could offer particular insight.
The UK must stand up for human rights & reject calls to leave the ECHR
The ECHR is the backbone of the #GoodFridayAgreement. It ensures human rights, equality, and a mutual respect across communities

The vacuous presence that is #Philp on this morning - lying that #ECHR not part of the #GoodFridayAgreement -and just as they said with #Brexit 'trade with the #EU' would be unaffected'. Incredible that the #BBC's Damian Grammaticas didn't challenge this
Like saying the #ECHR not part of the #GoodFridayAgreement - when it is.
I've signed the petition demanding that #PrimeMinister #KeirStarmer respects the #GoodFridayAgreement and scraps plans for mandatory digital #ID in #NorthernIreland - will you sign too? via @actnowcampaigns.bsky.social my.actnowni.org/petitions/sc...
Blair's role as an architect of the Good Friday agreement ending the Troubles in Northern Ireland is much mentioned, but his track record in the Middle East is far more controversial.
Mo Mowlam was the legend behind that on the Labour side, not Tonty fucking Blair
How like a Man, Blair to steal credit from a Woman...
