The Ulster Unionist Party's decommissioning paper, submitted to the opening plenary session on 15 October 1996, outlines their stance on the disarmament of paramilitary organizations as a prerequisite for substantive political negotiations. The document emphasizes that all parties must commit to the principles of democracy and non-violence, with structures and methodologies for decommissioning established before any political negotiations commence. It calls for immediate governmental action, including the publication and enactment of enabling legislation and the establishment of a Verification Commission. The paper also sets stringent conditions for the entry of Sinn Féin/ PIRA [sic] into the talks, requiring a complete and unequivocal end to their terrorist campaign and initial compliance with agreements made by other participants before engaging in substantive negotiations.
