Alliance submission to Strand One, Strand Two, and Strand Three on justice and human rights

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The Alliance Party's submission on Justice and Human Rights to Strand One, Strand Two, and Strand Three of the Northern Ireland Talks in November 1997 emphasizes the centrality of these issues to the success of any agreement. The document advocates for the establishment of a Department of Justice with a Minister and an associated Assembly Committee to ensure public and political engagement in justice administration, while maintaining the independence and impartiality of the police and courts. It also calls for enhanced cross-border cooperation on policing and security, the incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights into UK and Republic of Ireland domestic law, and the development of a human rights culture that transcends current anti-discrimination mechanisms. The submission underscores the importance of upholding internationally recognized standards of justice and human rights, ensuring broad community support and respect for new institutions, and fostering cooperation between jurisdictions to combat terrorism and organized crime.
