Revised draft procedural motion proposed by the British and Irish governments to plenary

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The revised draft procedural motion dated 22 September 1997, outlines the conclusions adopted by the Plenary for items 2-5 of the agenda for the remainder of the opening Plenary session. It includes the decision to appoint General de Chastelain as Chairman of the Independent Commission and to have Senator Mitchell, Prime Minister Holkeri, and General de Chastelain act as Joint Chairmen of Strand Two, with amendments to the Rules of Procedure accordingly. The motion emphasizes the indispensable role of decommissioning in the negotiation process and establishes two subcommittees: one on Decommissioning and another on Confidence Building Measures, both tasked with assisting in the implementation of relevant aspects of the Report of the International Body. Additionally, the motion adopts a comprehensive agenda for the negotiations, launches the three-stranded negotiations, and invites the Chairman to convene further meetings to review progress and sustain momentum towards an agreement. [This revised draft procedural motion includes a UUP variant of a paragraph on decommissioning in parallel [with] the negotiations.]
