The Northern Ireland Women's Coalition, in their detailed submission on decommissioning, emphasizes the necessity of integrating decommissioning within the broader context of political negotiations, advocating for a twin-track approach to peace. They argue that political progress and accommodation must precede effective decommissioning, citing international examples such as Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and South Africa to support their stance. The Coalition stresses the importance of political inclusion and warns against the manipulation of the decommissioning debate to create further political hurdles or fears. They also highlight the need for a Committee of Experts to develop a decommissioning framework, considering issues like legally held guns, the armed status of the RUC, and the potential for increased organized crime if the process is mishandled.
