In essence, this blog is the author issuing a Northern Irish invitation to treat - an attempt to commence negotiations by advocating and soliciting, the Northern Irish citizenry to participate in the peace process. How? By completing what was started some twenty two years ago. This can only be done by the full implementation of the Belfast Agreement 1998. The Belfast Agreement, mandated a Bill of Rights for Northern Ireland. Why not submit your own draft Bill of Rights to any relevant civic forums and or on-line via social media. Feel free to use the author’s template and amend or change or retain as you think fit. There has been a significant amount of academic work undertaken but this is for the most part, in the form of an isolated document or semi isolated documents, although cognisant to in some ways but detached, from the Anglo-Irish NI conflict 1968-1998. It is the author’s view, that any Bill of Rights for Northern Ireland, must reflect a divided community emerging out of a long contemporary and historic conflict, together with the external past and present influences of the Anglo-Irish inconclusive power struggles. The invidious situational positioning of the Northern Irish population. The importance of building on the conflict resolution peace process and a commitment to a transitional justice engagement. A Bill of Rights for Northern Ireland must be invested in developing the conflict resolution peace process. In the first instance, by incorporating the Belfast Agreement 1998, together with the constitutional principles contained therein; and or any agreed institutions supporting democracy. It is the author’s opinion, that the concept of consent can be developed into a concept of Northern Irish "Constitutional Sovereignty," upward and flowing from the people of Northern Ireland. It is also advocated that this process may assist in the establishment of a devolved Northern Irish Sovereign Home Rule Micro-State. That is, a sub-national Irish micro-state, as distinct from that of a nation state. Thereby, on the basis of agreement and consent, capable in accordance with the Belfast Agreement 1998, of being either a Home Rule Micro-State of the UK or the Nation State of Ireland. A rules of natural justice compliant, mandatory border poll every seven years. However, with an option to delay for five years, on a two thirds majority in the constituent Northern Irish Assembly. At the expiration of any extended five year delay in a NI border poll, the referendum will take place regardless. Clearly, for HMG not to facilitate this type of democratic mechanism, runs against the rules of natural justice. Furthermore, not to afford this democratic right, is a "power without right" in a "rule of law democracy", for which, the common law rules of natural justice, is a corner stone? Moreover, thereby, further reinforcing the perception, real or perceived, that the United Kingdom is not only a union of unequal relations, but also a union of "British Subjects", based on the relationships of "Master and Servant", dependant on a "coercive control " relationship? In essence, an undemocratic abuse of rights and lawful processes? Thereby, creating an invidious "situational positioning", which renders all of these NI "British Subjects" potential victims of social injustice, discrimination, fearfulness, self deception, emotional cowardice; and or powerlessness? This lends support for the political notion that the United Kingdom, is set within a limited democratic framework, which in terms of political social and economic decisions and actions, is determined by unelected elitists; and or a wealth based ruling class?

In the event of a decision by the Northern Irish electorate, to enter into unity with the Republic of Ireland. This will only happen in all probability, if any new devolved Northern Irish Sovereign Home Rule Micro-State, underpinned by the concept of “Northern Irish Constitutional Sovereignty ” and an entrenched Northern Irish Home Rule Bill of Rights and Freedoms, is retained, going forward, into Irish unity, as a devolved Northern Irish Sovereign Home Rule Micro-State, of a new Nation State of Ireland.
