Clinton Praises Diligence, Diplomacy of Northern Ireland Leaders (2010-02-05) The agreement by Northern Ireland's two biggest political parties to have the Northern Ireland Assembly assume control over policing and justice powers is "another important step toward a full and lasting peace," says Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. Clinton added that she has invited Northern Ireland leaders to Washington to discuss ways to build upon the agreement and promote peace through private sector investment.

"This latest success in Northern Ireland points the way forward - and not only for this one conflict. Northern Ireland gives us hope that, despite entrenched opposition and innumerable setbacks, diligent diplomacy and committed leadership can overcome generations of suspicion and hostility," Clinton said in a February 5 statement.

The February 5 accord between the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and Sinn Fein resolves a long-standing dispute between the two parties on the timetable for the transfer of policing and justice powers, known as devolution, from the British Parliament to the Northern Ireland Assembly. The two parties agreed to a March 9 vote in the assembly to devolve those powers beginning April 12.

"The accord they reached today will help consolidate the hard-won gains of the past decade," Clinton said.
