Paper from the Chairmen to the Strand Two participants on the parties' views on the purpose and functions of North/South Structures

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The Independent Chairmen circulated a further synthesis paper on 10 March 1998, to Strand Two participants, summarizing the discussions and responses to a previous paper by the British and Irish Governments. The document identifies areas of agreement and unresolved issues regarding the establishment and operation of North/South structures, including a North/South Ministerial Council, its legal basis, membership, structure, and functions. While there is broad consensus on the value of such structures and their potential roles, significant differences remain on issues such as the frequency of meetings, the explicit duty of service, decision-making processes, and the implementation of decisions. The paper aims to highlight key matters for debate, suggesting that resolving these issues could facilitate agreement on other related matters.
