The Ulster Democratic Party (UDP) submitted a paper on 28 August 1996, addressing the issue of decommissioning in the context of the Northern Ireland peace negotiations. The UDP emphasized its identity as a constitutional political party committed to democratic means and clarified its lack of control over Loyalist paramilitary groups, despite offering them political analysis. The party acknowledged the importance of decommissioning for confidence-building and recognized the challenges in achieving total disarmament, noting that only those in possession of arms can ultimately decide to decommission. The UDP called for serious and constructive discussions on decommissioning, considering the broader political climate and potential threats from other paramilitary groups.
