Trimble, along with his counterpart from the pro-Irish Catholic camp in the West Bank, Social Democratic Labor Party leader John Hume, shared the award in 1998 for the agreement that effectively ended 30 years of bloodshed


Northern Ireland's first prime minister, David Trimble, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1998 for his contribution to the "Good Friday Agreement" that led to the settlement that effectively ended the bloodshed between pro-Britain and Irish republicans in the north of the island, has died at the age of 77, his family said Monday.

Trimble, along with his counterpart from the pro-Irish Catholic camp in the Hebal, the leader of the Social Democratic Labor Party John Hume, shared the prize in 1998 thanks to the agreement, and immediately after it came into force Trimble became the first Prime Minister. 

The agreement was reached after feverish talks just before Easter that year and the agreement was announced, which resulted in the disarmament of most of the terrorist organizations after thirty years of bloodshed.

British Prime Minister at the time Tony Blair was also a central figure in the agreement, along with President Bill Clinton.

The agreement actually allows Haval to have an autonomous status under Britain, but at the same time every citizen will be able to hold Irish and British citizenship at the same time, and the distribution of resources and political power are also equally divided.

Another key part of the agreement is the de facto abolition of the land border between Ireland and the UK so that goods and people can pass without any passport control.
