The Belfast Agreement set out the arrangements governing the operation of democratic institutions in Northern Ireland, as well as British-Irish institutions and the North-South Ministerial Council. The subsequent St Andrews Agreement made changes to the operation of those institutions, as agreed by political parties representing a majority of unionist and nationalist opinion in Northern Ireland.

Both Agreements have been substantially delivered, though there remain some areas where a lack of consensus means that full implementation has not been possible.
