Number: HARD-018 Northern Ireland Peace Settlement Description: How did the 1998 peace settlement in Northern Ireland differ from previous peace efforts in the region? Narrative: Articles comparing the 1973 Sunningdale Agreement to the new peace treaty are on-topic, including the varying strategies and methods of negotiation for both agreements. More about the way this peace settlement was received by both sides of the conflict is on-topic. Information about participants in the peace negotiations (including former President Clinton) is relevant. Documents restricted to incidents of violence in Northern Ireland are off-topic, as are those that deal only with the IRA cease-fire (and not its impact on the current peace treaty).
