The Ulster Unionist Party's submission to the Independent Review on Parades and Marches emphasizes the cultural significance of parades for both Protestant and Roman Catholic communities in Northern Ireland. The document highlights the traditional nature of many parades, particularly those organized by Protestant groups such as the Orange Order, and stresses the importance of maintaining public order while respecting the right to parade. The UUP criticizes the existing Public Order (Northern Ireland) Order 1987, arguing that it inadequately protects traditional parades and has been influenced by the Anglo-Irish Secretariat, leading to politicization and misuse. The submission proposes categorizing parades to ensure clear guidelines and protections, particularly for traditional parades, to prevent public disorder and uphold democratic rights.
