This document is a statement by George Mitchell, detailing his ruling on whether participants in the talks have an inalienable right to insist on a vote for any motion they raise. After extensive debate and written submissions from participants, it was concluded that while each participant has the right to raise significant issues and receive a fair hearing, this does not extend to an absolute right to demand a vote. The British Government and several other participants emphasized that the talks are a negotiation process, not a legislative one, and should focus on achieving consensus. The Chair, supported by General de Chastelain and Prime Minister Holkeri, affirmed that the decision to vote on issues should be determined by the participants collectively, in line with the established Rules of Procedure.
