John Hume Process Quotations

have the success of the entire peace process in their sights.

This isn't just an award to David Trimble and myself. It's an award to all the people of Northern Ireland and to all the parties that have participated in the peace process and to both governments.

I see this award as a very powerful endorsement of the peace process ... because it underlines massive international goodwill towards it.

It took immense effort by two governments, the U.S. president, all the political parties on this island and the massive support of the people of Ireland to achieve this prize, ... I ask (the IRA) to demonstrate for all to see their patriotism and the desire to move the situation forward by ... beginning voluntarily the process of decommissioning.

Let's work together and build together, and as we do that, the real solution will begin, ... The real healing process will begin, and we will erode the distrust of the past.
