UUP submission to the International Body on Disarmament – Disbandment and disarmament by terrorist organizations

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The document is a submission by the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) to the International Body on Disarmament, presented on 16 December 1995. It emphasizes the necessity of disarmament and disbandment of terrorist organizations, particularly focusing on the Provisional PIRA and Sinn Féin. The UUP argues that the PIRA has not genuinely accepted the principles of the Downing Street Declaration or committed to a permanent cessation of terrorism, using the ceasefire to further political demands instead. The submission highlights ongoing PIRA activities, including target identification, recruitment, and violent enforcement within their communities. It contrasts the PIRA's sophisticated weaponry and continued militant behavior with the less advanced but still dangerous capabilities of Loyalist groups, who have conditionally accepted disarmament. The UUP stresses that any political accommodation must not compromise on disarmament, asserting that allowing terrorist influence in the democratic process would betray the people of Northern Ireland. The document concludes with a firm stance by David Trimble and Ken Maginnis on the non-negotiable nature of disarmament for achieving true democracy.
