Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The document details a trilateral meeting held at Castle Buildings, Stormont on 20 September 1996, involving representatives from the British Government (H.M.G.), the Irish Government, and the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP), including Peter Weir, John Hunter, Alan McFarland, and Peter King. The discussions focused on the complexities of decommissioning illegally held arms, emphasizing the need for cooperation and the implementation of international reports. The British and Irish governments proposed enabling legislation and the establishment of a committee to work out decommissioning schemes, prepare the ground for the commission, and address technical aspects. Concerns were raised about the potential for the committee to stall progress, the necessity of building trust, and the importance of having a clear process and binding commitments from all parties, including Sinn Féin.
