The document is a draft of the Decommissioning Bill of 1996, which outlines the legislative framework for the decommissioning of firearms, ammunition, and explosives in Northern Ireland. The bill includes sections on the interpretation of terms, regulations related to decommissioning, provisions concerning the establishment and functions of a commission, and the prohibition of certain legal proceedings related to decommissioned arms. It specifies the responsibilities of the Minister and the Secretary of State in the United Kingdom, the procedures for the transfer and destruction of arms, and the legal protections and immunities for those involved in the decommissioning process. The bill also addresses the admissibility of evidence obtained through decommissioning in legal proceedings and provides for the financial implications of the act. The document is attributed to the Minister for Justice, dated 9 November 1996, and is intended to facilitate the implementation of agreements between the Government of Ireland and the Government of the United Kingdom.
