Enclosure: Sinn Féin submission to Strand Two on principles and requirements

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The document is a submission by Sinn Féin to Strand Two of the peace talks, dated 14 October 1997, outlining their principles and requirements for achieving peace in Ireland. It argues that the partition of Ireland has failed, causing significant political, social, economic, and cultural damage, and emphasizes the need for Irish self-determination free from British interference. Sinn Féin advocates for a unified Irish state, highlighting the economic and social benefits of such unity and stressing the importance of mutual respect and partnership between nationalists and unionists. The submission calls for a democratic agreement determined solely by the people of Ireland, ensuring equal rights, political stability, and the protection of human rights, with a focus on reconciliation and the eradication of discrimination.
