Motion on Boycotting

There are 0 proposed amendments related to this document on which decisions have not been taken.

This Forum deplores the continuing boycotting of businesses across Northern Ireland and all unlawful activities associated therewith, which are further increasing tensions among the citizens of Northern Ireland.

The practice of boycotting will cause serious damage to the economic future of Northern Ireland by frustrating growth and preventing inward investment.

This Forum declares that there is an obligation upon all constitutional political parties to help resolve this and many other issues by the process of mutual co-operation.

The time has come for all elected representatives to act responsibly in the interests of reconciliation and to use this Forum for its principal purpose — to discuss issues relevant to the promotion of dialogue and mutual understanding between the people of Northern Ireland.
