Enclosure: Document for John Major Regarding Developments in the Joint Declaration Initiative

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

1993-12-01

Author is unknown as covering fax is missing, yet it is most likely from Patrick Mayhew or his Private Secretary judging by the comment in the first paragraph about a 29 November statement. This traces the Irish Government's rejection of the British draft of the Joint Declaration to the 3 December Dublin summit where progress began to be made in light of Unionist backlash to a leaked draft. He then goes on to propose some further textual changes, building on the work of the Butler/Nally group previously. The draft concerned is JD15. These changes include a constitutional guarantee, a rewording of paragraph four on self-determination and a firmer commitment to the consent principle. He goes on to say that the British have offered a new paragraph 12 removing references to a permanent Irish Convention. In a final section sub-headed "Assessment", the author summarises the state of play and the risk/rewards of the Joint Declaration, siding with the view that it is worth at least some risk.
