UUP presentation on disarmament and verification of terrorist weapons

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) presented a detailed argument on the necessity of disarmament and verification of terrorist weapons, emphasizing the lack of enthusiasm from other parties and governments in taking concrete actions against the PIRA. The UUP criticized the relationship between the SDLP and Sinn Féin/ PIRA [sic], which they believe undermines the democratic process and perpetuates the threat of violence. They proposed the establishment of an international Disarmament Commission to oversee the decommissioning of all terrorist weapons, highlighting the PIRA's significant arsenal and the ongoing threat it poses. The UUP stressed that decommissioning is essential for lasting peace and stability, rejecting any notion of trading political concessions for disarmament and advocating for a clear, structured process to ensure the complete and permanent removal of illegal weapons.
