Representations made by the Alliance Party against the UUP, DUP, PUP and the UDP on breaches of the Mitchell Principles

Tuesday, 10 September 1996

i28147

The Alliance Party's submission on 10 September 1996, addresses breaches of the Mitchell Principles, focusing on three main issues. Firstly, it criticizes the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) and the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) for their involvement in the Drumcree crisis, accusing them of orchestrating a campaign that challenged the rule of law and the authority of the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC), thus violating the principle of commitment to peaceful and democratic means. Secondly, it highlights the Combined Loyalist Military Command's (CLMC) threats against dissidents like Billy Wright, arguing that failure to condemn these threats breaches the principles of renouncing and opposing the use of force. Lastly, it condemns DUP member William McCrea for publicly supporting Billy Wright, a known militant loyalist, and criticizes the DUP for not distancing themselves from McCrea's actions, which the Alliance Party views as a breach of the Mitchell Principles.
