Statement on the Anniversary of Good Friday Agreement
The
Law Society of Northern Ireland welcomes the 25th Anniversary of the Belfast /
Good Friday Agreement, and recognises its enduring achievement in delivering
peace to Northern Ireland.
The Society also reflects on the
significant role legal professionals played in bringing about the Agreement and
the legal community’s role in continuing to promote peace, reconciliation and
respect for the rule of law.
As we
mark this important milestone, the Society reaffirms its commitment to
upholding the principles which sit at the heart of the Agreement: Equality,
Respect for the Rule of Law and Upholding Human Rights.
