The document from the Ulster Unionist Party, dated 15 January 1995, discusses the challenges and strategies related to dealing with terrorism, specifically focusing on the disbandment and decommissioning of weapons by the PIRA/Sinn Féin. The document notes that the PIRA/Sinn Féin's tactics have largely aligned with the Ulster Unionists' predictions from July 1995, despite the unexpected Loyalist ceasefire. It highlights the internal debate within the PIRA about the continuation of the ceasefire and the pressure on the McGuinness/Adams leadership. The document criticizes the British Government's handling of the situation, suggesting that the government has been too accommodating to Sinn Féin without receiving any reciprocal gestures. It proposes an alternative strategy where the government should challenge the PIRA more assertively, possibly by leveraging international scrutiny and questioning Sinn Féin's mandate to speak for the PIRA. The document concludes by emphasizing the need for the government to adopt a more proactive stance against terrorism and suggests that the Ulster Unionist Party may need to play a more direct role in this effort.
