Resolves of the Executive Council

Resolved, That the Executive Council, meeting in New York City, November 1-3, 1994, commend efforts at building a just and lasting peace in Northern Ireland, and offer its prayers and support to our partner Church in Ireland as it seeks to be a peacemaker in that divided and troubled land; and be it further

Resolved, That the Council commend the Presiding Bishop and Archbishop Eames of the Church in Ireland for their participation in a joint Call for Fair Employment and Investment in Northern Ireland on January 14, 1994; and be it further

Resolved, That the Council recognize that the MacBride Principles, as amplified, are a good faith, non-violent means to promote fair employment and ought not to be used in pursuit of a political agenda or to discourage investment or encourage disinvestment in Northern Ireland, but rather to encourage fair employment practices by U.S. companies operating in Northern Ireland for both Catholic and Protestant workers.
