SDLP submission to Strand Three on nature, form and extent of new arrangements, October 1997

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) document from October 1997 emphasizes the importance of the British–Irish framework in resolving the geopolitical issues in Northern Ireland. The SDLP argues that successful cooperation between the British and Irish governments, as demonstrated through various intergovernmental bodies and agreements, is essential for stability and progress. The document advocates for substantive and efficient East-West structures, including a standing Intergovernmental Conference supported by a Permanent Secretariat, to enhance cooperation and address a wide range of issues. The SDLP also highlights the need for these structures to provide mutual assurances to both Nationalists and Unionists, ensuring their rights and identities are protected within any new agreements.
