Alliance party submission on Senator Mitchell's questions on the Ground Rules document

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The Alliance Party's submission on 26 June 1996, addresses Senator Mitchell's questions regarding the status and implications of the Ground Rules document (Cmnd. 3232) in the context of the Northern Ireland peace negotiations. The party emphasizes that the Ground Rules document establishes both the legal and political foundations for the negotiations, as referenced in the Northern Ireland (Entry to Negotiations) Act, 1996. They argue that any attempt to renegotiate these foundational rules would necessitate a comprehensive review of the political agreements that underpin the talks. Additionally, the Alliance Party clarifies that Section 7 of the document pertains to the conduct of the negotiations and does not undermine the overall status of the Ground Rules, allowing for procedural flexibility as long as it aligns with the established framework.
