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

Friday, 13 June 1997

i27768

The document, dated 13 June 1997, outlines the British Government's position regarding Sinn Féin's participation in the peace talks, emphasizing the necessity of an unequivocal PIRA ceasefire. The Government aims for inclusive talks to address substantive political issues by September, contingent on Sinn Féin meeting the legal requirements set out in the 'Ground Rules for Substantive multi-party talks.' The note specifies a six-week period to assess the ceasefire's authenticity, with the potential for Sinn Féin to join the negotiations by the end of July if conditions are met. Additionally, the document addresses the timeframe for the talks, the importance of decommissioning based on the Mitchell report, and various confidence-building measures, including respect for cultural traditions and addressing prisoner issues.
