Enclosure: British and Irish Governments' suggested conclusions on decommissioning

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The document outlines the proposed conclusions to be presented by the two Governments at a plenary session on decommissioning during the multi-party talks. It emphasizes the commitment of the Governments to the recommendations of the International Body, particularly the compromise approach to decommissioning, which suggests that some decommissioning should occur during the negotiations to build mutual trust and confidence progressively. The Governments pledge to work with all participants to implement the report's recommendations and plan to publish draft enabling legislation to facilitate this process, aiming for enactment by Christmas 1996. A Committee on Decommissioning, comprising representatives from all participants and chaired by the Independent Chairman of the Plenary, will be established to oversee the implementation of the report. The Committee will follow a detailed working agenda, including reviewing legislative proposals, conditions for decommissioning, and the role of the Independent Commission. The document also calls for a plenary session in December to review progress and ensure the dynamic and inclusive nature of the negotiations. The adoption of these proposals is intended to conclude the address to decommissioning by the opening Plenary and allow the negotiations to proceed within the established frameworks.
