Establishing a UUP position on Strand Two and Strand Three, enclosing UUP proposal for a Council of the British Isles

Tuesday, 20 January 1998

i28004

The document outlines the Ulster Unionist Party's (UUP) position on various aspects of the negotiations leading to the Good Friday Agreement, focusing on constitutional changes, the Council of the British Isles (COBI), North-South Council accountability and implementation, and the role of the British and Irish governments. The UUP finds the joint Government position paper 'Propositions on Heads of Agreement' an acceptable framework for negotiation but not as a final settlement. The UUP document emphasizes the need for any new relationship with the Republic of Ireland to be based on the removal of territorial claims and stresses the importance of ensuring that North-South cooperation is politically accountable and does not undermine the unionist position. Additionally, the UUP strongly opposes the establishment of all-Ireland agencies, arguing that such bodies would be politically unsellable to the unionist electorate and could potentially destabilize the party and Northern Ireland's status within the United Kingdom.
