Enclosure: Aide-mémoire on the British Government's position vis-à-vis Sinn Féin

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The document, dated 13 June 1997, outlines the British Government's position on Sinn Féin's participation in the peace talks, emphasizing that an unequivocal restoration of the PIRA ceasefire is a prerequisite. The Government aims to proceed with inclusive talks and address substantive political issues by September, with Sinn Féin's entry governed by the 'Ground Rules for Substantive multi-party talks.' The note also discusses the timeframe for the negotiations, aiming for a settlement by May 1998, and highlights the importance of decommissioning and confidence-building measures. The Government stresses the need for mutual trust and confidence, the implementation of the Mitchell report, and the cessation of all forms of violence to rebuild community confidence.
