The Talks Leading to the Good Sample Clauses

The Talks Leading to the Good. Friday Agreement Following the granting of a US visa to Xxxxx Xxxxx, the IRA called its first ceasefire in August 1994. This raised expectations amongst Republicans that Sinn Fein would be able to take part in the negotiations. However, British side laid down an extra condition, according to which before the talks IRA should lay down the arms, i.e. total decommissioning (XXXX / Decomissioning, 2024). Decommissioning in the context of the peace process meant the hand-over or verified disposal of weapons by paramilitary groups. This issue proved to be a stumbling block during the whole process. This precondition of laying down all the arms in order to be allowed to participate in the talks led to a period of xxxxxxxx, and Special Envoy Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx was asked to report on the issue of arms decommissioning. The report prepared by the International Body on Arms Decommissioning (IBAD) on 22 January 1996 changed the direction of the peace process (XXXX/Report of the International Body on Decommissioning 1996, 2024). The members of this Body, who were Special Envoy and the Chairman of the Negotiations Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, General Xxxx xx Xxxxxxxxxx from Canada, former Canadian Chief of Defence Staff and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, former PM of Finland, against the opposition of unionists and British government, stated in paragraph 34 of their report that “The parties should consider an approach under which some decommissioning would take place during the process of all-party negotiations, rather than before or after as the parties now urge. Such an approach represents a compromise. If the peace process is to move forward, the current impasse must be overcome. While both sides have been adamant in their positions, both have repeatedly expressed the desire to move forward. This approach provides them that opportunity.” (XXXX/Report of the International Body on Decommissioning 1996, 2024). However, British PM Xxxxx refused to follow this proposal and called for elections as an entry mechanism into all-party talks. The IRA ended its ceasefire and bombed London‟s financial district Canary Wharf on 9 February 1996. At this point, the IRA believed that the cost of staying in the negotiations was higher than the armed struggle. Therefore, in line with the Xxxxxxx‟s assumption, the IRA believed that the talks were not proceeding as they had demanded, and they opted to continue with the armed struggle (Xxxxxxx, 2000). The collapse of the ceasefire did not mean an end to the peace process...
