Liaison subcommittee on decommissioning: opening statement by the British government

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

In the opening statement by the British Government at the first meeting of the Liaison subcommittee on Confidence Building Measures, the representative emphasized the importance of addressing fears and uncertainties that could hinder progress towards a lasting agreement. The British Government expressed a willingness to listen and discuss concerns, acknowledging the significance of the ceasefires in building confidence. The statement called for terrorist groups that have not declared a ceasefire to end their violence immediately. The Government proposed initial sessions for general discussion to identify where confidence is lacking and to ensure a cooperative approach, avoiding confrontation, and suggested preparing papers to guide future discussions.
