Last year, the world celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday agreement that ended prolonged violence and ushered in a new era of peace and prosperity in Northern Ireland. This year, we honor a crucial element that continues to uphold the vision of peace envisioned by the Good Friday Agreement: Strand 2 implementation bodies. On November 19, USIP and the U.S. State Department hosted officials and chief executives from the Strand 2 bodies for a conversation that reflected on their achievements, ongoing challenges, the U.S. role in supporting the Good Friday agreement, and how lessons from these bodies can be applied to other post-conflict zones across the world.
