Enclosure: Aide-Mémoire on the British Government's position vis–à–vis Sinn Féin

Wednesday, 25 June 1997

i27762

The document outlines the British Government's position regarding Sinn Féin's participation in the peace talks, emphasizing the necessity of an unequivocal restoration of the PIRA ceasefire. It states that Sinn Féin's entry into the talks is contingent upon meeting the legal requirements set out in the 'Ground Rules for Substantive multi-party talks,' with a six-week period to assess the ceasefire's adherence in both word and deed. The Government aims to proceed with inclusive talks and address substantive political issues by September, with a potential plenary session for Sinn Féin by the end of July if conditions are met. Additionally, the document discusses the importance of confidence-building measures, decommissioning, and the need for a mutual and lasting abandonment of violence to foster trust and progress in the negotiations.
