Irish government paper on rights and safeguards, relevant to Strand Two

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The rights and safeguards document for Strand Two, presented by the Irish Government on 7 November 1997, focuses on the enhanced legal protection of human rights within the framework of the Good Friday Agreement negotiations. It emphasizes the necessity of safeguarding the political interests, as PIRAtions, and identities of different traditions in Northern Ireland through comprehensive and systematic protection of civil, political, economic, and social rights. The Irish Government proposes the adoption of a Charter or Covenant by democratic representatives from both jurisdictions in Ireland, reflecting and endorsing the agreed measures for human rights protection. This Charter would serve as a political commitment to mutual respect and civil rights, complementing the legal protections and institutional safeguards established in the negotiations.
