Decommissioning – A tripartite paper (Alliance, SDLP, UUP), enclosing decommissioning scheme framework diagram

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The document, authored collaboratively by the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland (APNI), the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP), and the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP), outlines a comprehensive framework for the disarmament and verification process. It proposes the establishment of a Disarmament and Verification Commission composed of internationally recognized experts with technical knowledge, including representatives appointed by the United Kingdom and Irish Republic governments. The process would legally sanctioned through enabling legislation in both Houses of Parliament, with the immediate appointment of a Commission Designate to expedite the process and serve as a Confidence Building Measure (CBM). The Commission would operate independently of both governments and the ongoing Talks process but will establish an agreed reporting system in consultation with these parties. The Terms of Reference for the Commission would be developed by the two governments after thorough consultation with other parties involved in the Talks. The Commission would report to the Plenary through a Liaison Committee, adhering to a communication system outlined in an attached diagram. The document also suggests that the Commission Designate address logistical and technical issues, liaise with police and security services, and interact with the Talks Liaison subcommittee. It acknowledges the limited technical knowledge of the Talks Liaison committee but suggests it can discuss disarmament methodology, agree on weapon categories for decommissioning, and establish a simple liaison strategy to indicate progress.
