UUP decommissioning paper – Submission to Opening Plenary Meeting

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) submitted a detailed paper on decommissioning to the Opening Plenary Session on 15 October 1996. The document outlines the UUP's stance on the necessity of establishing structures and methodologies for decommissioning before substantive political negotiations can commence. It emphasizes that no additional participants should be admitted to the negotiations without demonstrating a commitment to peace. The UUP calls for immediate governmental action, including the publication and enactment of enabling legislation and the establishment of a Core Verification Commission. The paper proposes a debate on decommissioning in the opening plenary session, followed by a solemn commitment from all participants to implement disarmament principles. It also details the conditions under which Sinn Féin/ PIRA [sic] could enter the talks, insisting on a complete and unequivocal end to their terrorist campaign and a commitment to decommissioning before engaging in substantive negotiations. The UUP stresses that decommissioning and negotiations should proceed independently, with clear sanctions for any breaches of commitments or timeframes.
