The Ulster Unionist Party, in a document dated 12 November 1996, outlines its stance on decommissioning as a crucial element for achieving peace in Northern Ireland. The party emphasizes the necessity of a Disarmament and Verification Commission, established through legislation in both Westminster and the Dáil, to oversee the removal of illegally held arms and explosives. They assert that all parties, particularly Sinn Féin/ PIRA [sic], must commit to a permanent end to violence and adhere to the Six Principles from the International Body's report, with tangible decommissioning actions required before substantive negotiations can proceed. The document also stresses that the decommissioning process should be independent of political negotiations and that enabling legislation should be enacted promptly by the UK and Irish governments.
