The Alliance Party's submission on procedures, dated 14 June 1996, emphasizes the gravity of the negotiations, which are based on the Northern Ireland (Entry to Negotiations etc.) Act and the Command Paper 'Ground Rules for Substantive multi-party talks' issued in April 1996. The document underscores that the purpose of the negotiations is to achieve a new beginning for relationships within Northern Ireland, within the island of Ireland, and between the people of these islands, aiming to agree on new institutions and structures. The Alliance Party stresses that the negotiation body must facilitate the exploration of differing positions, the development of common ground, and the achievement of agreement, advocating for procedural guidelines that ensure fair expression of views and efficient use of time. Additionally, the party proposes a mechanism for establishing 'sufficient consensus' based on the South African model, allowing for significant support across the community even if unanimity cannot be achieved.
