UUP note to John de Chastelain regarding the SDLP paper on liaison subcommittee's responsibilities

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The document is a note from the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) dated 11 December 1996, addressed to the Chairman's office regarding a paper submitted on the responsibilities related to decommissioning. The UUP expresses concern over the interpretation of 'all aspects of decommissioning' as outlined in the Report of the International Body, fearing it might extend to other confidence-building measures such as prisoner releases, police, and courts. The UUP suggests that rewording the paragraph could resolve differences with the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP). They also reject the idea that all aspects of the report should be dealt with in the subcommittee, as it could imply trading off items like prisoners for arms, and they are open to alternative suggestions for addressing these issues without prejudice.
