SDLP submission to Strand One and Strand Two on constitutional issues

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The SDLP's submission on constitutional issues affecting Strand One and Strand Two, dated 20 October 1997, emphasizes the objective of the multi-party talks to achieve a settlement that garners the consent of all people in Ireland, addressing the historical causes of instability and conflict. The document outlines the nationalist perspective on the constitutional question, highlighting the historical and legal validity of their identity and as PIRAtions, and the exclusion they have felt from political structures since the partition of Ireland. It critiques the historical foundations of Northern Ireland's constitutional position, such as the Act of Union (1800) and the Government of Ireland Act (1920), arguing that these were imposed without the consent of the Irish people and have perpetuated inequality and disenfranchisement. The SDLP asserts that any new political structures must accommodate both nationalist and unionist identities, advocating for meaningful institutional interactions with the rest of the Irish nation while recognizing the necessity of unionist consent for any changes.
