The 'Decommissioning Bill, 1996,' presented by the Minister for Justice on 9 December 1996, outlines the legislative framework for the decommissioning of firearms, ammunition, and explosives in Ireland. The bill establishes a commission, formed through an agreement between the Irish Government and the Government of the United Kingdom, to oversee the decommissioning process. Key provisions include definitions and interpretations relevant to the act, regulations governing the decommissioning process, the establishment and functions of the commission, and prohibitions on certain legal proceedings and forensic testing related to decommissioned arms. The bill also details the commission's independence, legal capacity, and the inviolability and immunities granted to its members. Additionally, it specifies the financial and administrative responsibilities of the Minister for Justice and the conditions under which the commission may be dissolved. The bill aims to facilitate the safe and secure decommissioning of arms as part of the broader peace process in Northern Ireland.
