Speaking note on decommissioning delivered by Patrick Mayhew, 30 October 1996
Wednesday, 30 October 1996
The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, in a speaking note delivered on 30 October outlined the British Government's position on decommissioning terrorist weapons within the context of the Good Friday Agreement negotiations. The Secretary emphasized the necessity of decommissioning for building trust and confidence among negotiating parties, noting that the presence of illegal arms undermines democratic institutions and the peace process. The British Government's approach is based on the recommendations of the International Body, advocating for a phased decommissioning process to build mutual trust. The government has prepared draft legislation to facilitate decommissioning, including the establishment of an Independent Commission to oversee the process and provide limited immunity for possession-related offenses. The Secretary acknowledged the setbacks caused by the PIRA's abandonment of its ceasefire and urged loyalist parties to maintain their ceasefire to ensure continued participation in the negotiations. The government proposed a structured approach involving a Committee to undertake preparatory work for decommissioning, with the aim of establishing the Independent Commission once the legislation is passed. The Secretary concluded by stressing the importance of mutual commitment to the decommissioning process and the need for regular plenary reviews to monitor progress.
