UDP submission for Strand One (item 4) and Strand Two (items 3 and 4) on the relationships with other arrangements

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

In its submission to Strand One item 4 and Strand Two items 3 and 4, the Ulster Democratic Party (UDP) emphasizes that the primary relationship to be addressed in the negotiations is between the people of Northern Ireland, specifically between Ulster Protestants and Ulster Catholics. They argue that without sufficient consensus on how society should be shaped and governed, the negotiation process is unlikely to succeed. While recognizing the need for an agreement that addresses broader relationships, the UDP. rejects the British and Irish governments' 'Frameworks for the Future' as it allows for interference in Northern Ireland's internal jurisdiction. Instead, they propose a model of cooperation based on mutual advantage and transparency, advocating for a British Isles-wide council to address issues such as the environment, transport, and agriculture, reflecting the totality of relationships and respecting Northern Ireland's territorial integrity within the United Kingdom.
