Note by the British and Irish Governments on suggested conclusions to the plenary address to decommissioning, 30 September 1996

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The document, prepared jointly by the British and Irish Governments on 30 September 1996, outlines a proposed approach to address decommissioning during the multi-party talks in Northern Ireland. It emphasizes the importance of a compromise where some decommissioning would occur during the negotiations, rather than before or after, to build mutual trust and confidence progressively. The document details the commitment of both governments to implement the recommendations of the International Body's report, including the introduction of enabling legislation by Christmas 1996. It also proposes the establishment of a Committee on Decommissioning, comprising representatives of all participants and chaired by the Independent Chairman of the Plenary, to ensure the implementation of the report's recommendations and to review progress periodically.
