UUP paper on addressing decommissioning, enclosing handwritten notes

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

David Trimble, MP, outlines the Ulster Unionist Party's (UUP) stance on decommissioning paramilitary weapons as a prerequisite for substantive political negotiations in the peace process. Trimble emphasizes that all parties must commit to democracy and non-violence, including the total disarmament of paramilitary organizations, before entering negotiations. The UUP insists on the establishment of structures and methodologies for decommissioning, the immediate implementation of enabling legislation by the UK and Irish governments, and the formation of a Core Verification Commission to oversee the process. The document details the necessity of a solemn commitment from all participants to disarmament principles and the International Body's proposals, alongside clear timelines and sanctions for non-compliance. Trimble also sets stringent conditions for Sinn Féin/ PIRA's [sic] entry into talks, requiring a complete and unequivocal end to their terrorist campaign, adherence to democratic principles, and initial decommissioning actions before engaging in substantive negotiations. The UUP's position is firm on not negotiating with Sinn Féin until they have demonstrated a genuine commitment to peace.
