The governments of London and Dublin signed the Good Friday Convention almost all parties in northern Ireland
10 April 1998,
The Good Friday Convention was signed by almost all parties in northern Ireland (not by the DUP) and by the governments of London and Dublin. The political conflict in Northern Ireland thus entered a new phase, as the armed conflict ended, at least in the scheme that was previously known.
The agreement was ratified by referendum by the citizens of northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The Republic of Ireland therefore amended the Constitution by renouncing the sovereignty of the six northern counties.
According to the agreement, the right of the Irish people in Iparralde to decide their future was recognized and, among other things, the Northern Ireland Conference was set up. One of the bases of the agreement was that the autonomous power of the six counties should be divided between the Protestants and the Republicans, always in accordance with the results of the democratic elections.
Below are several photographs depicting Irish resistance in the Irish political conflict, colored by the Red media.
