A possible approach to resolving procedural difficulties [version 4], 12 June 1996, 00.01

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The document [version 4 of a possible approach to resolving procedural difficulties], dated 12 June 1996, outlines a proposed approach to resolving procedural difficulties in the Northern Ireland peace negotiations. It notes that while some parties were satisfied with the management proposals from the 6 June papers, others had reservations, particularly regarding the procedural guidelines and the appointment of chairmen. To ensure orderly business transactions, the document suggests appointing Independent Chairmen promptly, allowing for a thorough exploration of concerns about procedural guidelines and the agenda for the opening Plenary session. The proposal emphasizes that procedural arrangements must satisfy all participants and that ultimate agreement on all matters rests with them. The suggested agenda for the 12 June meeting includes appointing Senator Mitchell, General de Chastelain, and Mr Holkeri to chairmanships, followed by introductory remarks, a formal declaration of commitment to democratic and non-violent principles, and a public statement of this commitment. The Chairmen, governments, and parties would then confer on the points of concern, with the Chairmen reporting back to the Plenary by 19 June to finalize procedural guidelines and the agenda. [The document is annotated and slightly modifies the wording used in version 3].
