The Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) document dated 29 July 1996, outlines their stance on the implementation of the Mitchell Report and the necessity of confidence-building measures, particularly focusing on the disarmament and disbandment of terrorist organizations in Northern Ireland. The UUP emphasizes their early advocacy for a Disarmament Commission composed of individuals with international standing. The UUP underscores the importance of a commitment to peaceful methods and democratic processes as outlined in the Downing Street Declaration. Despite reservations about the PIRA's activities, the UUP accepted the Mitchell Report's recommendations, which included six principles for political talks and proposed that disarmament occur during multi-party talks. The UUP agrees with the principles for the decommissioning process, such as mutual disarmament and independent verification, but expresses frustration over the lack of progress and preparation by the governments. They propose the immediate establishment of a Disarmament Working Group to liaise with governments and the Disarmament Commission, ensuring that mechanisms for disarmament are in place to facilitate meaningful political dialogue by September. The UUP stresses that there should be no further delays in the political process, having committed to the International Body's report and the democratic decision of the electorate.
