The Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) document dated 27 October 1997, outlines their vision for new arrangements within Northern Ireland as part of the Strand One negotiations. The SDLP emphasizes that any new arrangements must address the broader relationships within Northern Ireland, the whole of Ireland, and between all the peoples of these islands, asserting that there can be no purely internal solution to the conflict. They advocate for a democratic partnership that ensures fair representation and avoids majoritarian decision-making, emphasizing the need for participation, consensus, and respect for both traditions' identities and ethos. Additionally, the SDLP highlights the importance of European and international dimensions in supporting the peace process and shaping the political and economic development of Ireland, stressing that new arrangements must be stable, workable, innovative, and capable of evolving with the people's will.
