Enclosure: Joint Declaration as Conveyed on 8 October 1993 (JD12)

Writing Peace: The National Archives of the UK (TNA)

1993-10-08

Document begins by stating the joint desire to end violence and conflict in Northern Ireland. The beginning of paragraph four is lifted from former Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Peter Brooke's 9 November 1990 Whitbread speech. It reaffirms Britain's "neutral" position in Northern Ireland and recognises that self-determination dictates that, with the consent of the majority, Northern Ireland can leave the UK. The British Government take issue with the imprecise language of this paragraph and amend it to include a constitutional guarantee that it is for the people of Northern Ireland, not simply the Island of Ireland, to decide. The Irish Government also commits to establishing a permanent Convention to consult the relevant parties involved. This will not include the British Government, but will be open to democratically mandated parties so long as they openly condemn violence.
