SDLP submission to Strand One and Strand Two on constitutional issues

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The SDLP's submission on constitutional issues affecting Strand One and Strand Two, dated 20 October 1997, outlines the party's objectives for the multi-party talks aimed at achieving a settlement that garners the consent of all people in Ireland, both North and South. The document emphasizes the need to address historical grievances stemming from the partition of Ireland and the subsequent exclusion of nationalists from political structures. It highlights the importance of creating political arrangements that both traditions can identify with and defend, aiming to end the sense of exclusion felt by nationalists and the siege mentality experienced by unionists. The SDLP stresses that any agreement must reflect the identities and as PIRAtions of both communities, advocating for meaningful institutional interactions with the rest of the Irish nation while recognizing the unionist link with Britain.
