SDLP draft position paper on Strand 1: Institutions in Northern Ireland

Writing Peace: George J. Mitchell Collection

This confidential draft document, dated 4 March 1998, outlines the SDLP's stance on the establishment of shared political institutions in Northern Ireland, Strand 1, as part of a three-strand approach to conflict resolution. It proposes a power-sharing executive, drawn from the Assembly, involving representatives from both communities. It details safeguards against abuse and discrimination, including strong sufficient consensus rules and mechanisms to protect human, civil, and cultural rights. It discusses the remittance of powers, the formation, structure, and powers of the Assembly, and the formation, structure, and powers of the Executive. The document also covers finance, relations with other arrangements, and proposes a review of these arrangements after a specified period.
