UUP paper on dealing with terrorism 1 – Disbandment and decommissioning of weapons

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The document from the Ulster Unionist Party, dated 15 January 1995, outlines the party's perspective on the tactics of the PIRA/Sinn Féin [sic] and the challenges faced by the British Government in dealing with terrorism and the decommissioning of weapons. The document notes that the PIRA has not deviated significantly from its expected tactics, but internal dissent is growing due to a lack of political progress. The Ulster Unionist Party criticizes the British Government's concessions to Sinn Féin, arguing that these have not been reciprocated and only serve to embolden the PIRA. The document proposes an alternative strategy involving the establishment of an international Disarmament Commission, in cooperation with the Irish Government, to oversee the decommissioning of all terrorist weapons. This commission would include international experts and operate independently of the ongoing political process. The Ulster Unionist Party believes that this approach would place the PIRA under international scrutiny and pressure, potentially leading to a more effective resolution of the disarmament issue. The document concludes by emphasizing the need for the British Government to adopt a more proactive stance in addressing the terrorist threat.
