i27443

The Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) issued a statement on 7 October 1997, at the launch of the Strand Two talks, emphasizing their participation as a means to defend and promote the Union from within the negotiation process. The UUP stressed the importance of the principle of consent and the need for Sinn Féin/ PIRA [sic] to demonstrate a genuine commitment to peace and democratic processes, including disarmament. The statement underscored the deep-rooted sense of British identity among Unionists and rejected any notion of a United Ireland, highlighting the historical and emotional bonds with Great Britain. The UUP called for the replacement of the Anglo-Irish Agreement with a treaty based on mutual consent and respect, advocating for a Council of the British Isles to foster cooperation without political or constitutional aims.
