British and Irish Government consultation paper on Strand Three – 'A New Agreement'

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

This consultation paper, authored by the British and Irish Governments, outlines principles and requirements for a new and more broadly-based Agreement on Strand Three, aimed at establishing peace, stability, and reconciliation in Ireland. It emphasizes the principles of self-determination, consent, democratic and peaceful means, and the protection of rights and identities of both traditions in Ireland. The document seeks views on constitutional issues, the nature and form of new institutional arrangements, and the relationship between intergovernmental institutions and new governance structures in Northern Ireland. Additionally, it highlights the need for a framework to protect fundamental human rights and proposes the incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights and the adoption of a Charter or Covenant for rights protection.
