A resolution commemorating the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Good Friday Agreement, and for other purposes.
SRES 157 is a symbolic Senate resolution commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, signed on April 10, 1998, which helped end decades of conflict in Northern Ireland. The resolution expresses support for the Agreement's principles, urges the restoration of Northern Ireland's devolved government institutions, and endorses the Windsor Framework for maintaining an open border. As a commemorative resolution, it does not enact new laws or directly affect any group, serving only as a statement of U.S. support for peace and stability in Northern Ireland.
