[edit] "Put Beyond Use"

Can anyone explain to me what the phrase "put beyond use" means. It sounds like careful parsing or a euphemism.

To me "put beyond use" would mean that they had been destroyed or dismantled in such a way that they could never be used as weapons again. But if they were destroyed why don't they simply say "destroyed," or "dismantled." Does anyone what is actually supposed to have happened to these weaopons? -- Cecropia | explains it all ® 17:49, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Generally, it means they have been sunk in concrete. I believe that's what the OIRA did, but I can't be certain that it happened here. It is intended to be a euphemism, I think, to generally protect the secrecy of the parties. Cheers, [[Sam Korn]] 17:25, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Hi, notice this article is ranked number 1 google for "Independent International Commission on Decommissioning" :) Fixed it up with some details. The Official IRA (OIRA) havent taken part in the process as far as i know, but they have been on ceasefire since 1972. Fluffy999 04:53, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

I will not be responding to messages left on my talkpage or on pages for articles I have worked on. Will no longer be contributing to wikipedia. Thank you. Fluffy999 13:04, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
