Writing Peace: The National Archives of Ireland (NAI)

This document from 18 September 1996 by Brenda Callaghan of the NIWC [Northern Ireland Women’s Coalition] records a trilateral meeting between the Irish Government, the British Government, and the UUP [Ulster Unionist Party]. The purpose of the meeting was to address a list of 15 questions from the UUP regarding the process of decommissioning. During the discussions, the governments outlined a proposed structure for decommissioning, but debate arose over the details of a committee established to oversee the process. The UUP pushed for an "inchoate commission" rather than a committee, expressing concerns that a committee would slow down the process. Their questions primarily focused on the timetable for decommissioning legislation, the powers of the commission, and the necessary preparations before paramilitary groups could enter negotiation talks.
