This means, firstly, removing all forms of repression. In Ireland this would mean the removal of every barrier created to enforce partition. Sinn Fein does not support placing UN troops in Ireland. Any deadlocks encountered during the process of British withdrawal could be assisted towards a resolution by the United Nations. The United Nations could be requested to convene a conference of all parties involved.
Peace requires the conditions of democracy, freedom and justice to eradicate the causes of war.
The Irish people have the same historical right to sovereignty and nationhood which is recognized by international law. Partition contravenes these laws and frustrates national democracy and national reconciliation. British rule in Ireland has no democratic legitimacy and has rested on division and coercion. They should recognize the failure of partition. The Dublin government should assume its responsibility in relation to reunification either in cooperation with Britain or if necessary, independently.
