Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

This document outlines the British Government's stance on decommissioning illegal arms as part of the peace process in Northern Ireland. The government endorses the International Body's report, advocating for some decommissioning to occur during multi-party talks to build trust and confidence. The document emphasizes the illegality of unauthorized arms and the necessity of their total and verifiable disarmament, while also recognizing the need for inclusive negotiations addressing various issues. It details the government's commitment to legislative measures, the establishment of an Independent Commission, and confidence-building actions, stressing the importance of mutual decommissioning and the cessation of paramilitary violence to advance the peace process.
