A possible approach to resolving procedural difficulties [version 1], 11 June 1996

Tuesday, 11 June 1996

The document [version 1 of a possible approach to resolving procedural difficulties], dated 11 June 1996, outlines a proposed approach to resolving procedural difficulties in the Northern Ireland peace negotiations. It notes that while some parties were content with the proposals for managing business as set out in the June 6 papers, others had reservations, particularly concerning the procedural guidelines and the appointment of chairmen. To ensure orderly business transactions, the document suggests appointing Independent Chairmen—Senator Mitchell for the Plenary, General de Chastelain for Strand Two and the Business Committee, and Mr Holkeri as Alternate Chairman. The proposal emphasizes that procedural arrangements must satisfy all participants and that ultimate agreement on these matters rests with them. The document proposes a structured agenda for the June 11 meeting, including the appointment of chairmen, formal declarations of commitment to democratic and non-violent principles, and the formation of a committee of plenary to deliberate on procedural guidelines and the agenda. It suggests that while the committee deliberates, the plenary should proceed with opening statements, with a report from the committee to be submitted by June 19 for further consideration and agreement on procedural guidelines and other outstanding issues. [The document is annotated].
