Statement by George Mitchell, liaison subcommittee on confidence building measures, 18 November 1997

Writing Peace: George J. Mitchell Collection

In a statement dated November 18, 1997, Senator George J. Mitchell, Chairman of the Liaison Subcommittee on Confidence Building Measures, addresses a ruling on the scope of discussions within the Subcommittee. The issue at hand is whether Rule 17, which allows participants to raise significant concerns related to confidence-building measures, overrides the Procedural Motion that defined the Subcommittee's remit. Senator Mitchell clarifies that while Rule 17 ensures participants can raise important issues, it does not grant unlimited freedom to introduce any topic at any time. He emphasizes the need for orderly and focused discussions to avoid confusion and repetition. Senator Mitchell affirms that the subject matter of the Subcommittee is as outlined in the Procedural Motion, which includes confidence-building measures mentioned in the Report of the International Body. However, he acknowledges the need for flexibility to address evolving circumstances and serious issues that may not have been exhaustively covered in the initial report. Senator Mitchell commits to facilitating fair discussions on significant matters while maintaining efficiency and progress in the negotiation process.
