Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The document from the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) dated 13 October 1997, outlines the principles and requirements for Strand Two of the negotiations, emphasizing the 'Totality of Relationships' between participants and their constituencies. It stresses the importance of consent, stating that the future of Ireland should be determined by the people of Ireland, North and South, through agreement and consent. The document also highlights the necessity for new political arrangements to gain the allegiance and support of both major traditions in Ireland, ensuring that any new institutions reflect the identities of both communities. Key principles such as partnership, parity of esteem, equality, and equity are underscored, along with the need for new structures to be durable, flexible, and capable of evolving, while also considering the European Union and international dimensions.
