SDLP response to Strand Two opening statements

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The document is a response from the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) regarding Strand Two of the negotiations, dated 24 July 1992, which focuses on relations among the people on the island of Ireland. The SDLP emphasizes that addressing these relationships involves more than formalizing relations between two distinct entities or governments; it requires recognizing and accommodating the two legitimate traditions on the island—Unionist and Nationalist. The SDLP argues that mutual respect and accommodation are essential for legitimacy and that any new agreement must acknowledge and address the realities and requirements of both traditions. The party also notes the importance of Strand Two in resolving political tensions within Northern Ireland and contributing to an overall outcome that respects the identities of both communities.
