Friday, 07 November 1997

This document, presented by Labour, describes their position on rights and safeguards in relation to Strand 2. Labour noted that the question of the implementation of rights and safeguards in Northern Ireland was complicated by the question of where the authority lay in the north. They proposed that the British-Irish Intergovernmental Coferences be continued and be allowed to consider issues relating to rights during a transition period while the new Assembly was gaining its footing. Other proposals included the removal of articls 2 and 3 from the Irish Constitution, the continuation of the presence of George Mitchell's team or an equivalent group to act as arbitrator, and new legislation to guarantee the right to a regular referendum in Northern Ireland on its political future.
