The document from Peter King, dated June 1997, outlines the Ulster Unionist Party's (UUP) position on decommissioning. The UUP insists on the establishment of decommissioning structures before launching negotiation Strands, the enactment of enabling legislation in the UK and Ireland, the formation of a core commission, and the publication of draft decommissioning schemes. The UUP also states it will not engage with Sinn Féin until actual decommissioning begins. The document contrasts this with the British and Irish governments' current stance, which involves establishing an Independent Commission and a Committee of Plenary, and highlights concerns that Sinn Féin could participate in negotiations without committing to decommissioning, potentially leading to a political impasse.
