The Alliance Party's opening statement to Strand Two of the negotiations, delivered in July 1992, emphasizes the importance of addressing the fundamental aspects of the problem and common interests between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The statement outlines four key principles: the right of the people of Northern Ireland to self-governance, the protection and valuing of minorities, the necessity of law and order, and the shared responsibility for peace. The Alliance Party critiques the notion of a unitary Irish nation-state, arguing that identity and nationhood are matters of the heart and should not be conflated with statehood. The statement also highlights the potential for cooperation in various sectors such as agriculture, tourism, and economic development, proposing the establishment of Joint North-South Commissions and a tripartite Council to address broader issues and enhance mutual cooperation.
