The Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) issued a statement on 17 September 1997, emphasizing their commitment to participating in the talks at Castle Buildings and ensuring the Unionist voice is heard. They criticized the British Government's invitation to Sinn Féin, arguing it was premature and posed challenges, but acknowledged that discussions over the summer had led to some agreements, including the principle of consent and the necessity of decommissioning during the talks. The UUP expressed their determination to confront Sinn Féin, whom they did not invite, and to defend the Union against any attempts to marginalize Unionist positions. They highlighted several assurances obtained from the British Government, such as the application of the consent principle, the inclusion of decommissioning in the process, and the maintenance of General de Chastelain as Chairman of the International body overseeing de-militarization.
