Statement by Seamus Mallon on the issue of decommissioning, 30 September 1996

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

Seamus Mallon, MP, of the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP), issued a statement on 30 September 1996, addressing the issue of decommissioning in the political talks at Stormont. Mallon criticized the lack of political will, particularly from the unionist parties, which he argued were obstructing substantive negotiations by focusing on the decommissioning precondition. He emphasized that decommissioning should be a voluntary process tied to political progress and confidence-building, as outlined in the Mitchell report, rather than a precondition imposed unilaterally. Mallon called for inclusive negotiations and urged unionist leaders to engage in the process genuinely, warning against the dangers of political immobility and the potential for renewed conflict.
