Enclosure: British Government policy on the Northern Ireland Talks, 28 November 1996

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The British Government's policy document on the Northern Ireland talks reiterates the government's commitment to achieving a comprehensive political settlement through inclusive multi-party talks. The document emphasizes that the negotiations aim to establish new relationships within Northern Ireland, across the island of Ireland, and between the peoples of these islands, with the ultimate goal of reaching an agreement founded on consent. The British and Irish Governments stress the importance of an unequivocal PIRA ceasefire, noting that any new ceasefire must be genuine and lasting, not merely a tactical maneuver. The document outlines a process for Sinn Féin's participation in the negotiations, contingent on their adherence to the Mitchell principles of democracy and non-violence. It underscores that all parties will be treated equally, with no party having the power to veto the negotiations. The document also highlights the necessity of addressing decommissioning of illegal arms as part of the negotiations, advocating for a phased approach to build confidence. The British Government commits to facilitating and enabling the negotiations, ensuring that all issues are addressed comprehensively, and emphasizes the importance of mutual confidence-building measures and respect for the rights and identities of both traditions in Northern Ireland. The document concludes by acknowledging the international support for the peace process and the need for the negotiations to take place in a peaceful environment.
