UUP Submission to the International Body on Disarmament – Disbandment and disarmament by terrorist organizations

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The document is a submission by the Ulster Unionist Party to the International Body on Disarmament, dated 16 December 1995. It emphasizes the necessity of disbandment and disarmament of terrorist organizations, particularly the PIRA/Sinn Féin [sic], to ensure a peaceful and democratic future for Northern Ireland. The submission criticizes the PIRA for not genuinely committing to the Downing Street Declaration and continuing violent activities despite the ceasefire. It argues that complete and permanent decommissioning of illegal weapons is essential for the disintegration of the culture of political violence and for achieving true democratic standards in Northern Ireland. The document concludes with a strong stance against compromising on disarmament, underscoring the moral and practical imperatives of this process.
