Liaison subcommittee on confidence building measures, opening paper – PUP

Writing Peace: George J. Mitchell Collection

The document outlines the principles and requirements for confidence building as proposed by the Progressive Unionist Party. It emphasizes that confidence building should be voluntary, respectful of diversity, and a genuine indication of goodwill. The document highlights that confidence building should not involve rewards or tests, nor should it be about concessions. It stresses the importance of engaging constructively with others and creating a non-sectarian, pluralist, and equitable society. The requirements for confidence building include exercising responsibility for addressing each other's needs, creating a sense of ownership within the community, supporting each other in addressing social injustices, and committing to the development of a multicultural and pluralist society. Additionally, there is a call to address relationships between the British and Irish peoples to build trust at grassroots levels. Papers on various social, economic, and cultural issues are being prepared for bilateral and multilateral discussions.
