The document, prepared by Cleaver Fulton & Rankin Solicitors on behalf of the Ulster Unionist Party for Strand Two, provides a detailed legal submission regarding the Constitution of Ireland and its claims over Northern Ireland. It outlines the objections to Articles 2 and 3 of the Irish Constitution, which assert the national territory of Ireland includes the whole island, arguing these claims deny the right of self-determination for the people of Northern Ireland and breach international obligations and the 1925 Agreement between the UK and Ireland. The document reviews the historical context, legal standing, and case law related to these constitutional provisions, highlighting the persistent legal and political contention surrounding the territorial claims. It also examines various proposals for reforming Articles 2 and 3, including those by the 1967 All-Party Committee, the Progressive Democrats, and the Worker's Party, comparing them to the German constitutional approach to reunification.
