Paragraph 13 of the Joint Declaration sets out the need for an immediate, full and permanent cessation of paramilitary training, targeting of people, intelligence gathering and a plethora of other riotous behaviour. It also makes clear that the practice of exiling people must stop. People who have already been exiled should be able to return in safety and security should they so wish. Five years after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement and ten years since the first ceasefire, who could possibly object to the monitoring of activities such as these? It is high time these activities ceased. They are wrong and they are damaging the very fabric of the Good Friday Agreement.
