The document from the Ulster Unionist Party, dated 26 June 1996, discusses the legal and procedural implications of the 'Ground Rules' Command paper in the context of the Northern Ireland negotiations. It clarifies that while the 'Ground Rules' are a formal statement of government policy, they do not have inherent legal effect except for specific references in the Northern Ireland Act 1996. The document argues that only paragraphs 8 and 9 of the 'Ground Rules' have been given legal effect by the Act, and it critiques the notion that the 'Ground Rules' could constrain the negotiations or their outcomes. Additionally, it highlights disagreements between the British and Irish governments regarding the interpretation of procedural terms and expresses objections to certain procedural suggestions and implications within the 'Ground Rules.'
