Peace in Ireland: Freedon, Justice, Democracy, Equality – A Sinn Féin submission to Strand One

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

A Sinn Féin submission to Strand One of the peace talks, dated 10 October 1997, outlines the party's perspective on achieving peace in Ireland through principles of freedom, justice, democracy, and equality. The document criticizes the historical and ongoing British policy in Northern Ireland, describing the six-county state as a failed political entity marked by sectarianism, discrimination, and human rights abuses. Sinn Féin advocates for a new political framework based on national self-determination, equality, and mutual respect, emphasizing the need for a national representative democracy in a sovereign, independent Irish state. The submission calls for the British government to change its policy of maintaining the union and to support the creation of conditions that allow the people of Ireland to determine their future without external interference.
