British Government paper on constitutional issues for Strand One and Strand Two

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

This document, authored by the British Government on 17 October 1997, addresses constitutional issues pertinent to Strand One and Strand Two of the negotiations. It reaffirms the British Government's commitment to the principles outlined in the Joint Declaration of December 1993 and the 'A New Framework for Agreement,' emphasizing the importance of upholding the democratic wishes of Northern Ireland's majority regarding its union with the United Kingdom or a sovereign united Ireland. The paper underscores the necessity of consent from the people of Northern Ireland for any constitutional changes and highlights the British Government's readiness to amend or replace existing legislation to reflect these principles. Additionally, it acknowledges the Irish Government's commitment to constitutional changes that respect the principle of consent and the rights of individuals born in either jurisdiction in Ireland.
