Explanatory memorandum on the Irish Decommissioning Bill, 1996

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The document is an explanatory memorandum from the Department of Justice, dated December 1996, detailing the provisions of the Northern Ireland Arms Decommissioning Bill, 1996. The Bill aims to implement the recommendations of the International Body, which included Senator George Mitchell, General John de Chastelain, and Prime Minister Harri Holkeri, established by the Irish and British Governments to address the decommissioning of arms held by organizations using them for political purposes. The Bill outlines the legal framework for decommissioning, including the establishment of an independent commission to oversee the process, the methods of decommissioning, and the legal protections for individuals involved in decommissioning. It also includes provisions to prevent the forensic examination of decommissioned arms and the use of related information in legal proceedings, except under specific circumstances. The memorandum details the responsibilities of the Minister for Justice in regulating the decommissioning process and the financial implications of the Bill. [The document includes a card from Nora Owen TD, Minister of Justice as cover]
