Labour Submission on Justice Issues, Rights and Safeguards: Agenda items 5 & 6

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The Labour Party's submission on justice issues, rights, and safeguards emphasizes the necessity of a comprehensive examination of Northern Ireland's judicial, enforcement, and rights systems to achieve a political solution. The document underscores the importance of planning for a future of permanent peace, dismantling paramilitary organizations, and removing emergency legislation. It advocates for a major democratic input into the control and accountability of the police service, suggesting that policing should remain with the Secretary of State during a transitional period but with significant community involvement. The Labour Party also proposes the creation of a community police service and a Northern Ireland Crime Service, addressing the need for a police force that reflects the community's composition and the potential for a separate cross-border police service to tackle increasing cross-border crime.
