UUP decommissioning proposals [annotated version 2], 12 November 1996

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The Ulster Unionist Party's document dated 12 November 1996, outlines their stance on decommissioning, emphasizing the necessity for the removal of illegally held arms and explosives to achieve lasting peace. They propose the establishment of a Disarmament and Verification Commission through legislation in both Westminster and the Dáil. The document stresses that all parties, particularly Sinn Féin/ PIRA [sic], must commit to peaceful methods and the Six Principles from the International Body's report, with tangible actions such as the decommissioning of weapons before participating in negotiations. The Ulster Unionists advocate for the decommissioning process to be independent of political negotiations and call for the necessary legislative frameworks to be enacted promptly by the UK and Irish governments.
