The Minister for Justice of the Irish Government delivered a statement on 29 October 1996, emphasizing the government's unwavering commitment to the Report of the International Body on decommissioning, which was accepted without reservation. The statement highlighted the importance of decommissioning arms held illegally in both Ireland and Northern Ireland as a crucial step towards upholding the rule of law and underpinning the peace process. The Minister reiterated that decommissioning must be pursued alongside political negotiations and other confidence-building measures, as progress in one area is interdependent on the other. The Irish Government proposed a detailed legislative framework and the establishment of a Committee of Plenary to oversee the decommissioning process, ensuring that it is practical, realistic, and consistent with the recommendations of the International Body's Report.
