The British Government's policy document on Northern Ireland, dated 28 November 1996, reiterates its commitment to achieving peace through multi-party talks that began on June 10 in Belfast. Despite ongoing violence and speculation about a new PIRA ceasefire, the government emphasizes that the negotiations aim to establish new relationships within Northern Ireland, between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and among the peoples of these islands. The document underscores that all parties are treated equally in the negotiations, which will address all relevant issues comprehensively. The British and Irish Governments agree that the negotiations are without preconditions beyond an unequivocal and lasting ceasefire by the PIRA and Sinn Féin's commitment to the Mitchell principles of democracy and non-violence. The document also highlights the importance of decommissioning illegal arms and building mutual confidence through social and economic policies based on equality and fairness.
