This confidential annex proposed by the British and Irish Governments, discusses principles, constitutional issues, the nature of new arrangements, relationships with other arrangements, and rights and safeguards pertaining to the negotiations on Strand 3. The governments express their aim to develop cooperation, reflecting the totality of relationships between the two islands, with the objective of establishing peace, stability, and reconciliation. They invite views on principles such as self-determination, consent, the use of peaceful means, and respect for rights and identities of both traditions. They also seek views on constitutional issues and the nature, form, and extent of new arrangements, including an Intergovernmental Conference. The paper discusses the relationship between intergovernmental institutions and new arrangements for the governance of Northern Ireland and cooperation on the island of Ireland. It also considers the implications of devolution in Great Britain and EU membership. The document concludes by addressing the need for a comprehensive protection and guarantee of fundamental human rights.
