At its meeting on Wednesday 13 August 2025, the Forum approved the following statement:
Independence Forum Scotland notes and supports the resolution from the House of Commons, Westminster, on 4th July 2018, “That this House endorses the principles of the Claim of Right for Scotland, agreed by the Scottish Constitutional Convention in 1989 and by the Scottish Parliament in 2012, and therefore acknowledges the sovereign right of the Scottish people to determine the form of government best suited to their needs.”
In heartily welcoming this endorsement of the sovereignty of the Scottish people, the Forum urges all organisations working for Scottish Independence, whether party political or not, to place our sovereignty at the heart of their campaigns.
In a related discussion on Wednesday 10 September 2025, the Forum formally endorsed Petition PE2135, submitted to the Scottish Parliament by Henry Ferguson on behalf of Respect Scottish Sovereignty, asking for the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights to be implemented in Scottish legislation.
