UUP common principles for developing political institutions within Northern Ireland

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) outlines a set of principles intended to guide the development of strand one negotiations. These principles emphasize democratic values, broad acceptability, stability, and durability, ensuring that both main parts of the Northern Ireland community feel represented and have meaningful roles. The UUP advocates for a system that is self-sustaining, adaptable to changing political realities, straightforward to operate, and respectful of both main traditions. Additionally, the principles call for proportional representation of all constitutional political parties, effective and decisive functioning within defined responsibilities, innovation, alignment with UK institutions, potential relationships with other British Isles and EU institutions, public endorsement, maximum delegation of authority, and rigorous parliamentary scrutiny and public accountability.
