Enclosure: Annotated Draft of a Brief History of the Joint Declaration Initiative

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

1993-10-11

Details the history of the notion of a joint declaration. Dates it to have formally been conceived in a meeting between John Major and then Taoiseach Charles Haughey on 4 December 1991, but that the ground had been prepared by John Hume's intermittent discussions with Gerry Adams from 1988 onwards so that by November 1991 the idea was well and truly on its way. It then goes on to trace the specific talks and drafts that were passed back and forth, particularly through the channel of Dermot Nally on the Irish side and Robin Butler on the British. It tracts each draft across 1992 and into 1993 and the meetings that followed them, focusing on the grievances from each party that thwarted each draft, By the time of writing, the latest draft was JD12. This draft includes several annotations, including syntax and grammatical alterations. However, the version sent by Tony Beeton to Andrew Stephen on the 14 October 1993 does not incorporate the pencil corrections seen here.
