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

Enclosure: Commentary on the Joint Declaration (JD13)

Wednesday, 10 November 1993

i22751

Comparison of the changes between the previous draft (JD11) and this new Irish draft of the Joint Declaration (JD13). No omissions are noted from the previous document and all additions indicate an effort to bring Unionists onside. It still omits the constitutional guarantee and does not recognise NI as part of the United Kingdom, tempering the effect of these efforts. Questions are posed about the suitability of the text for the Provisionals, the British Government, constitutional Unionists, and Loyalists and also about whether the Irish government is fully committed to it.
