Government publishes six month report by IICD

Paramilitary weapons | Armi paramilitariThe achievements by the Independent International Commission on Decommissioning (IICD) underline the triumph of politics over violence, Secretary of State Shaun Woodward MP has said.

The Government today published the latest report by the IICD which covers the final six months of the decommissioning legislation.

Shaun Woodward said: “This was an extremely productive period for the IICD with the decommissioning of weapons by both republican and loyalist paramilitary organisations.

“The historic acts of decommissioning witnessed by the IICD over this six month period were the culmination of years of painstaking work.

“Northern Ireland is a much different place from what it was 12 years ago when the IICD was established and General John deChastelain and his team have played an important role in that transformation.”

The decommissioning amnesties in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland ended February 9 and 25 respectively.

Shaun Woodward said: “Now that the decommissioning legislation has ended, I will want to discuss with the Irish government arrangements for finalising the work of the IICD and the preparation of a final report on armaments.”
