The Union Is Secure
- The Act of Union remains
unchanged
- The Maintenance of
the Union is securely placed in the hands of the people of Northern Ireland.
The Union is, therefore, as secure as we - the people of Northern Ireland
- wish it to be.
- In Accepting the Agreement
the Northern Nationalists have formally acknowledged the right of the people
of Northern Ireland to remain an intregral part of the United Kingdom for
so long as it is their wish to do so.
- The Irish Republic
has dropped its territorial claim to Northern Ireland and has formally recognised
the right of the people of Northern Ireland to remain an integral part of
the United Kingdom so long as it is their wish to do so.
- The iniquitious Anglo
Irish Agreement has been abolished.
- The British-Irish Council
comprised of representatives from the British Government and five British
Assemblies (Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Isle of Man and Channel Islands)
along with representatives of the Irish Government will ensure that the
totality of relationships within the British Isles are driven by a British
agenda.
- Co-operation between
Northern Ireland and Irish Republic Departments in areas of mutal benefit
must be agreed and endorsed by the Northern Ireland Assembly.
- Responsibilty for the
physical defence of Northern Ireland against terrorism will remain the duty
of the British Security Forces. The Independent Commission will Acknowledge
publicly and internationally, once and for all, that the RUC is the most
professional and efficent police service in the world.
- Over 10,000 prisoners
have been released from prison in the midst of violent conflict, why should
another 340 pose a problem now that their organisations have declared cease-fires.
