UDP paper for discussion on decommissioning

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The Ulster Democratic Party (UDP) clarifies its stance on decommissioning in a discussion paper, emphasizing its identity as a constitutional political party committed to democratic means and rejecting the use of force for political objectives. The UDP acknowledges its role in reducing loyalist violence by providing political analysis to groups like the Ulster Defence Association (UDA) and the Ulster Freedom Fighters (UFF), though it holds no authority over their actions. The party underscores its commitment to the total disarmament of all paramilitary organizations, as outlined in the six principles of the 'report of the international body' from 22 January 1996. Recognizing the complexity and challenges of achieving total disarmament, the UDP stresses the importance of addressing decommissioning within negotiations to build confidence and reduce societal distrust. The party highlights the necessity of securing the agreement of armed groups for any disarmament program and acknowledges the limitations posed by the absence of groups like the CLMC and the PIRA in the negotiation process. The UDP proposes that participants should explore the decommissioning issue and its contributing factors, as well as examine practical considerations for potential disarmament.
