i27584

Senator George Mitchell, in his statement on 16 February 1998, addressed the procedural issues surrounding the Secretary of State's request for a plenary meeting to discuss Sinn Féin's adherence to the Mitchell Principles. Despite Sinn Féin's objections and requests for more time and a stenographer, Mitchell emphasized the Chair's authority to convene a plenary under the Rules of Procedure. He decided to hold the plenary session on 17 February, granting Sinn Féin additional time to prepare. Mitchell underscored the importance of fairness and accuracy in the negotiation process, noting that his colleagues, General de Chastelain and Prime Minister Holkeri, concurred with his decision.
