Alliance submission to Strand One and Strand Two on constitutional issues

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The Alliance Party's submission on constitutional issues, presented as a single paper for Strand One and Strand Two, emphasizes the importance of recognizing Northern Ireland's status as part of the United Kingdom based on the majority's choice and the principle of consent. The document highlights the necessity of embedding this principle in both the British and Irish constitutions to foster trust and positive relationships. It also underscores the need for effective entrenchment of protections and human rights, advocating for the incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights into UK and Irish domestic law. Additionally, the submission calls for amendments to Articles 2 and 3 of the Irish Constitution to reflect the principle of consent and align both constitutions to establish a firm foundation for new arrangements.
