The Minister for Justice of the Irish Government, in a statement on 29 October 1996, reaffirmed the government's unwavering commitment to the Report of the International Body on decommissioning, which was published on January 24. The statement highlighted the Irish Government's acceptance of the Report without reservation, a stance also taken by the British Government, as confirmed in various joint papers and public statements. The Minister emphasized the importance of decommissioning arms held illegally in both Ireland and Northern Ireland, viewing it as essential for upholding the rule of law and reinforcing the peace process. The statement acknowledged the complexities of decommissioning, recognizing it as a mutual process requiring trust and political progress. The Irish Government committed to working with all parties to implement the Report's recommendations, including the establishment of a legislative framework and an Independent Commission to oversee the process. The Minister underscored that decommissioning should be pursued alongside broader political negotiations and other confidence-building measures, aiming for a comprehensive and verifiable disarmament of all paramilitary organizations. The statement concluded by advocating for the joint proposals by the Irish and British Governments as the most realistic path forward to achieve full decommissioning.
