 | | The UUP have, however, refused to act on this agreement and have repeatedly sought to re-negotiate this element of the Agreement and to tie it, in a manner beyond the terms of the agreement, to the issue of decommissioning. | | | The Good Friday Agreement is the common, negotiated and agreed, ground between all the parties to it. | | | The Good Friday Agreement is the common ground between all of the parties to it. |

| | Ireland - Good Friday Agreement - here comes the crisis |
| | Their position is defence of the good Friday agreement, but the agreement today is not the agreement was signed: it has moved persistently to the right and will move further. | | | There are fewer concessions to nationalists in the Good Friday agreement, and those that there are focus on a share of sectarian privilege within the northern state rather than on any real cross-border dimension. | | | The structures of the agreement demand a sectarian vote and reward the most vocal defenders of community rights, where "community" is defined in sectarian terms. |

| | The promises of the Good Friday agreement, supposedly set in stone, were now conditional on the unconditional surrender of the republicans. | | | Their argument was that it was through the structures of the GFA that they would best be able to defend their sectarian privileges, either totally crushing and humiliating the republicans and/or forcing them from the government. | | | Just how comic-opera the Good Friday structures are is indicated by the fact that over 100 elected representatives and a full cabinet representing all the major local parties were needed to rule just under 1.5 million people — and were replaced in an instant by three British labour party backbenchers! |

| | Review of the Good Friday Agreement |
| | The Belfast Agreement states that, whenever the SOS thinks there is a majority in NI in favour of a constitutional switch, he/she "shall" hold a referendum on whether NI should remain in the UK or join a united Ireland, and that this process may be repeated after an interval of at least seven years. | | | The people of Bosnia did not approve the Dayton Agreement in a referendum; it was imposed, signed by a few outsiders, one of whom is now an indicted war criminal, Serbia's Slobodan Miloševic. | | | In 1998, when the Belfast Agreement was signed, it was agreed that the document itself and its implementation would be subject to a four-year review. |

| | Northern Ireland: Discussions aimed at rescuing Good Friday Agreement |
| | Following decades of bloody civil conflict, the 1998 Agreement set out terms for the establishment of devolved government by a Northern Ireland Assembly in Stormont. | | | What united them was a shared desire to defend the large subvention handed over from Britain to Northern Ireland, while attracting overseas investment to fund infrastructure and privatisation projects. | | | The review will centre on the extent to which the far-right pro-British loyalist Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) of Ian Paisley can carry out its stated policy of excluding Sinn Fein from power in a revived Northern Ireland Assembly. |
