Rights and Safeguards – paper by the British Government, relevant to all three strands

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The British Government's paper on 'Rights and Safeguards', relevant to all three strands, addresses the centrality of human rights issues in Northern Ireland's troubles since 1969, highlighting the controversies surrounding civil rights, fair employment, emergency powers, and the rights of the accused. The document emphasizes the need for a clear definition of the rights agenda in the talks process, considering both classical individual rights and modern rights discourse, which includes ethnicity, gender, and cultural rights. It outlines existing protections and planned measures, such as the incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights into UK law, and discusses the potential for additional rights protections specific to Northern Ireland's unique context. The paper also touches on the importance of dialogue and negotiation in determining new human rights arrangements, suggesting the involvement of academics and NGOs, and identifies key issues to be addressed, including the effectiveness of existing safeguards, the need for new protections, and the potential for a Northern Ireland-specific Bill of Rights. [This document is an early version of the same document tabled on 6 February 1998]
