UUP Talks party bulletin, 28 June 1996

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) issued a Talks bulletin on 28 June 1996, detailing the week's negotiations and their stance on the Ground Rules document published by the British Government in consultation with the Irish Government. The UUP expressed serious reservations about the document, viewing it as an attempt to narrow the discussion agenda while sidelining crucial issues like Articles 2 & 3 and decommissioning. They focused on agreeing to a single Rules of Procedure document that would place discussions in the hands of all participants, rather than being governed by the Ground Rules. The bulletin also noted amendments by the two governments that enhanced the role of parties in Strand Three discussions and acknowledged Senator Mitchell's proposed compromise, which seemed likely to be accepted, though the UUP would withhold agreement until the decommissioning agenda was satisfactorily settled.
