Bill 118 H.Res. 586, also known as the "Calling for the restoration of power-sharing in Northern Ireland" resolution, was introduced in the US Congress to address the ongoing political crisis in Northern Ireland. The resolution calls for the restoration of power-sharing between the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and Sinn Féin, the two main political parties in Northern Ireland.
Power-sharing in Northern Ireland was established as part of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998, which aimed to bring an end to decades of conflict known as "The Troubles." However, the power-sharing government collapsed in January 2017 due to disagreements between the DUP and Sinn Féin.
The resolution emphasizes the importance of power-sharing in maintaining peace and stability in Northern Ireland. It calls on the UK and Irish governments to work together to facilitate the restoration of power-sharing and urges all parties in Northern Ireland to engage in constructive dialogue to resolve their differences.
Overall, Bill 118 H.Res. 586 highlights the US Congress's support for the restoration of power-sharing in Northern Ireland and the importance of maintaining peace and stability in the region.
