In a press release dated 6 June 1997, David Trimble MP addressed the Northern Ireland Forum, emphasizing the importance of decommissioning in the peace process. Trimble highlighted that decommissioning should occur alongside talks if Sinn Féin/ PIRA [sic] were to join, stressing that it must be decommissioning in action, not just in words. He pointed out that the Mitchell Report correctly insisted on mutuality, meaning no unilateral decommissioning demands would be made on Loyalists. Trimble expressed concerns about some parties potentially maneuvering to allow Sinn Féin/ PIRA [sic] into the talks on unacceptable terms, underscoring the need for agreed terms and procedures to prevent this scenario.
