John Hume's adaptation of Major's position paper reiterates the British Government's commitment to achieving a comprehensive political settlement in Northern Ireland through inclusive, multi-party talks that began on 10 June 1996. The document emphasizes that the negotiations aim to address all relevant issues, with all parties treated equally based on their democratic mandates, and no party having an undemocratic advantage. It underscores the necessity of a peaceful environment for successful negotiations, highlighting that Sinn Féin would be invited to participate if the PIRA unequivocally restored its cease-fire. The paper also stresses the importance of mutual confidence-building measures, the commitment to democratic and non-violent principles, and the supportive roles of international bodies and governments, including the European Union, the United States, and South Africa, in the peace process.
