Paper by NIWC on agenda item 1 of strand 2 talks, 13 October 1997

Monday, 13 October 1997

i25933

This document was presented by the NIWC regarding the principles and requirements envisioned by the party in relation to Strand 2. NIWC's paper separately outlines the principles and requirements for the talks process itself, the final agreement, the institutions and arrangements that arise out of Strand 2, and the process of finalising the agreements. For the talks process, the NIWC highlighted the importance of conceptualizing consent in its widest sense, and to define sufficient consensus in terms of the agreement of all parties and not just the large unionist/nationalist blocks. For the agreement, NIWC stated that any emergent institions should respect the totality of relationships within and between Northern Ireland, the Republic and the UK. The NIWC also noted that it should seek to enhance multi-culturalism, equality of opportunity for men and women and to incorporate elements from other models of intra-regional and cross-border co-operation. Regarding institutions, the NIWC stated that Northern Ireland should be deemed a special region of the EU and that different elements of civil society should contribute to the new arrangements.
