Friday, 19 May 1995

i28020

The Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) document, presented at the Forum for Peace and Reconciliation in Dublin Castle on 19 May 1995, outlines the fundamental principles and roles of proposed North-South structures. The SDLP emphasizes the need for these structures to express the affinity between people in Northern Ireland, particularly nationalists, and those in the rest of the island, while also recognizing the unionist tradition's right to express its identity. The document advocates for cooperation on social, cultural, and economic matters, highlighting the importance of a joint approach to issues arising from European Union membership and promoting reconciliation and mutual understanding between different traditions. The SDLP insists that North-South structures should operate with a clear institutional identity, operational autonomy, and decision-making based on consensus to ensure no community is coerced by a majority.
