We wish to state our basic principles so that there may be no doubt, in any quarter, as to our deadly seriousness in pursuance of these ideals.
- There must be no diminution of Northern Ireland's position as an integral part of the United Kingdom whose paramount responsibility is the morale and physical well-being of all its' citizens.
- There must be no dilution of the democratic procedure through which the rights of self-determination of the people of Northern Ireland are guaranteed
- We defend the right of anyone or group to seek constitutional change by democratic, legitimate and peace full means.
- We recognise arid respect the rights and aspirations of all who abide by the Law regardless of religious, cultural, national or political inclinations.
- We are dedicated to a written Constitution and Bill of Rights for Northern Ire land wherein would be enshrined stringent safe guards for individuals, associations and minorities.
- Structures should be devised whereby elected representatives, North and South, could work together, without interference in each others internal affairs, for the economic betterment and the fostering of good neighbourly relations between both parts of Ireland.
It is our earnest desire to have an honourable and equitable peace founded in democratic accountable structures within which all of our people can play a constructive and meaningful role without let or hindrance. The shameful point-scoring of the past and present must be forever left behind us if we are to take our rightful place in a changing world. We must learn to accommodate each others culture and tradition with a view to building that modern society which we all desire.
Loyalist para-militaries have been in active existence for many years, with mercurial support from the general Unionist population.
Therefore, we offer a word of caution to all those who are engaged in negotiate dialogue concerning Ulster's future.
"Get it right or the nominal support we now have will very quickly become total".
