Enclosure: Annex 1 – Joint statement by the British and Irish governments regarding the talks, 15 September 1997

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The joint statement from the Prime Minister [Tony Blair] and the Taoiseach [Bertie Ahern], dated 15 September 1997, emphasizes their commitment to the Downing Street Declaration and clarifies their stance on the crucial issues of consent and decommissioning as the Northern Ireland talks resume. They reaffirm that any agreement must command sufficient consensus among participants and address the totality of relationships, ensuring the consent of both Unionists and Nationalists. The statement highlights the importance of resolving the decommissioning issue as part of the negotiation process, supported by appropriate legislation and the establishment of an Independent Commission. Both Governments stress their dedication to the Mitchell Report and urge all parties to cooperate constructively, noting that successful decommissioning relies on the cooperation of paramilitary organizations and could significantly contribute to confidence-building and progress in the political talks.
