Constitution:

Common goals outlined in the founding constitution of New Consensus in 1989:

• Opposing apathy and ambivalence about the right to life in Northern Ireland:


• Promoting the equal right of all citizens of Northern Ireland to democratic
  control of their political destiny:


• Promoting the principles of mutual respect, civil liberty and freely-given
  allegiance as the basis for democratic and non-sectarian society:


• Promoting the principle that these three principles are so fundamental as to
  transcend any ideological or any-political differences we may have.


• New Dialogue takes no collective position on the border. New Dialogue is
  opposed to the use of violence as a means of resolving the problems
  associated with divisions in Northern Ireland, and to the threat of the use of
  violence to coerce others into agreements to which they would not freely assent.
