|---|
| 9 | 9 | | Relating to: commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement. |
|---|
| 10 | 10 | | Whereas, the Good Friday Agreement, reached on April 10, 1998, sought to end |
|---|
| 11 | 11 | | a decades-long period of politically-motivated violence in Northern Ireland, known |
|---|
| 12 | 12 | | as the Troubles, which took the lives of more than 3,500 people; and |
|---|
| 13 | 13 | | Whereas, April 10, 2023, marks the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday |
|---|
| 14 | 14 | | Agreement, which, despite some outstanding issues, has been a considerable |
|---|
| 15 | 15 | | success; and |
|---|
| 16 | 16 | | Whereas, many on the Emerald Isle owe their lives to the agreement, which has |
|---|
| 17 | 17 | | benefitted from the implementation and ongoing support from the governments of |
|---|
| 18 | 18 | | Ireland and the United Kingdom; and |
|---|
| 19 | 19 | | Whereas, the agreement's success has been bolstered by the continuous |
|---|
| 20 | 20 | | bipartisan support of successive U.S. presidents, the U.S. Congress, state legislators, |
|---|
| 21 | 21 | | and other elected officials working in partnership with the governments of Ireland |
|---|
| 22 | 22 | | and the United Kingdom; and |

|---|
| 39 | 39 | | Whereas, the Good Friday Agreement acknowledged the legitimacy of two |
|---|
| 40 | 40 | | differing political positions—support for Irish unity and support for Northern |
|---|
| 41 | 41 | | Ireland remaining part of the United Kingdom—and the ability of both groups to |
|---|
| 42 | 42 | | pursue their goals; and |
|---|
| 43 | 43 | | Whereas, the Good Friday Agreement was a significant turning point, |
|---|
| 44 | 44 | | providing the Irish people with a political framework to address their future and a |
|---|
| 45 | 45 | | framework for lasting peace in Northern Ireland; and |
|---|
| 46 | 46 | | Whereas, the Good Friday Agreement represented a democratic and peaceful |
|---|
| 47 | 47 | | means of resolving differences; now, therefore, be it |
|---|
| 48 | 48 | | Resolved by the assembly, That the members of the Wisconsin Assembly |
|---|
| 49 | 49 | | celebrate links between Americans and the Irish people; and, be it further |
|---|
| 50 | 50 | | Resolved, That the members of the Wisconsin Assembly give thanks for |
|---|
| 51 | 51 | | continued peace and national cooperation upon the 25th anniversary of the Good |
|---|
| 52 | 52 | | Friday Agreement. |
