UDP submission on procedural guidelines and opening plenary agenda, 14 June 1996

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The Ulster Democratic Party's document dated 14 June 1996, outlines a proposed agenda for the remainder of the Opening Plenary Session and details the rules and procedures for conducting the negotiations. The agenda includes opening statements, the establishment of subcommittees on the release and reintegration of politically motivated prisoners, social and economic deprivation, and economic regeneration, as well as discussions on decommissioning proposals and the appointment of a Business Committee. The rules emphasize the impartial role of the Independent Chairman, who will preside over the meetings, manage scheduling, and ensure orderly conduct, with the authority to make final procedural rulings and determine sufficient consensus. The document also specifies decision-making processes, including the establishment of working groups and expert consultations if unanimity is not achieved, and defines sufficient consensus based on political party support and voting strengths from the 30 May 1996, elections.
