The Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) issued a statement on 7 October 1997, at the launch of the Strand Two talks, emphasizing their commitment to participating in the talks to defend and promote the Union from within the process. The UUP stressed the importance of the principle of consent, asserting that Northern Ireland's status as part of the United Kingdom should be determined by the majority of its people. They challenged Sinn Féin/ PIRA's [sic] commitment to peace and democratic processes, insisting on disarmament as a test of sincerity. The UUP also criticized the Anglo-Irish Agreement and proposed replacing it with a treaty that respects the wishes of Northern Ireland's people, advocating for a Council of the British Isles to foster cooperation without political or constitutional aims.
