The Alliance Party's submission on September 10th, 1996, addresses breaches of the Mitchell Principles, focusing on three main incidents. Firstly, it highlights the Drumcree crisis, where the Orange Order, supported by senior members of the Ulster Unionists and the DUP, engaged in a campaign that challenged the rule of law, thus violating the principle of commitment to democratic and peaceful means. Secondly, it discusses the Combined Loyalist Military Command's threat to Billy Wright and other dissidents, emphasizing that failure to condemn such threats breaches the principles of renouncing and opposing the use of force. Lastly, it criticizes the DUP's William McCrea for publicly supporting Billy Wright, a known militant loyalist, and failing to condemn his actions, which also constitutes a breach of the Mitchell Principles.
