British Government paper on constitutional issues for Strand One and Strand Two

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The document, authored by the British Government on 17 October 1997, addresses constitutional issues pertinent to the multi-party talks in Northern Ireland, specifically Strand One and Strand Two. It reaffirms the British Government's commitment to the principles outlined in the Joint Declaration of December 1993 and the 'A New Framework for Agreement,' emphasizing the importance of upholding the democratic wishes of the majority in Northern Ireland regarding their preference for the Union or a united Ireland. The British Government underscores the necessity of consent from the majority for any change in Northern Ireland's status and expresses readiness to amend or replace existing constitutional legislation to reflect this principle. Additionally, the document highlights the British Government's expectation that the Irish Government will amend its constitution to respect the principle of consent and the legitimacy of the majority's choice in Northern Ireland, ensuring equality and non-discrimination for all citizens in the interim.
