The Prime Minister John Major, in an article dated 14 May 1996, emphasizes the importance of the upcoming elections in Northern Ireland on 30 May which will pave the way for substantive multi-party talks starting on June 10. He highlights the significance of these elections in giving the people a chance to vote for peace and ensure their views are represented in the negotiations. Major underscores the British Government's commitment to a genuine and comprehensive settlement that addresses all concerns and is acceptable to all parties involved. He stresses the necessity of an unequivocal PIRA ceasefire for Sinn Féin's participation in the negotiations and calls for all parties to demonstrate a commitment to democracy and non-violence, as outlined in the Mitchell Report.
