US President Bill Clinton Sample Clauses

US President Bill Clinton. During his second term (1997-2001), President Clinton exhibited an unprecedented attention to Northern Ireland, and he was involved personally and through his Special Envoy former Senator George Mitchell, in the final settlement of Northern Ireland conflict with the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998. President Clinton‟s interest in Ireland was personal and political. He had travelled to Ireland when he was at Oxford University as a scholar, and taken an interest in the northern civil rights movement. He had extensive knowledge of Irish affairs. During his election campaign, he worked with influential Irish Americans and promised to reverse the visa ban on Gerry Adams, who had been leading Sinn Fein since 1983 and would continue to lead until 2018, and the other senior Sinn Fein leaders.

President Clinton‟s personal intervention in the political negotiations on several occasions increased the confidence of the Irish republicans about the merits of negotiations. Clinton was so much committed to Northern Ireland that he visited three times. First time it was on 30th of November 1995, and then he proceeded to Ireland on 1-2 December 1995. The main purpose of the visit was to encourage the peace process. After the signing of the GFA, he visited Northern Ireland again following an explosion in Omagh (Northern Ireland), where 29 innocent people were killed by a bomb of Real IRA, on 15 August 1998 (Blair, 2011, pp. 192-193), (Mitchell, 2015, pp. 239-245), to show his solidarity with the people and his support of the newly established ...
