Statement by Dermot Nesbitt on the international dimension of the Northern Ireland Peace Process

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

Dermot Nesbitt, in his September 1996 document, addresses the deteriorating community relations in Northern Ireland, attributing it to the mishandling of the political process and incidents like Drumcree. He emphasizes the importance of international human rights law, particularly the protection of minorities, as fundamental to resolving the conflict. Nesbitt criticizes both the British and Irish governments for not fully adhering to international principles and argues that progress can only be achieved if all participants commit to these principles. He underscores the need for public debate on the principles of future government structures and the accommodation of minorities, suggesting that this is more crucial than the decommissioning of arms.
