UUP statement on the International Body [Mitchell Report]

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The Ulster Unionist Party's document from 24 January 1996 discusses the Mitchell Report's stance on the prior decommissioning of weapons as outlined in the Downing Street Declaration. The party expresses disappointment that the International Body could not immediately meet this requirement but acknowledges the report's assertion that the insistence on prior decommissioning is reasonable. The document emphasizes that the obstacle lies in the paramilitaries' refusal to decommission and underscores the public's strong endorsement of prior decommissioning. It also highlights the report's recommendations for building trust through certain principles and confidence-building measures, calling on all parties, including paramilitaries, to commit to peace, democracy, and disarmament before, during, and after talks.
