Alliance submission to Strand One and Strand Two on constitutional issues

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The Alliance Party's submission on constitutional issues, presented as part of Agenda Item 2, addresses the complexities of dividing constitutional matters between different negotiation strands. The document emphasizes the importance of recognizing Northern Ireland's status as part of the United Kingdom, based on the majority's choice, and underscores the principle of consent as fundamental to the peace process. It advocates for the incorporation of this principle into both British and Irish constitutions to build trust and foster positive relationships. Additionally, the submission highlights the need for effective human rights protections, the incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights into domestic law, and amendments to the Irish Constitution to reflect the principle of consent and modern realities.
