South African lawyer and international conflict resolution expert Brian Currin has called on ETA to surrender it's weapons unconditionally and declare a permanent end to it's armed campaign.
Currin said that if ETA called a permanent end to violence, their political wing, Batasuna, would be legalised.
He also played down the suggestion of an amnesty for political prisoners stating that
"it is difficult to find a balance between the victims and the causers of violence".
It is unlikely that ETA would declare a permanent ceasefire without their 800 or so poltiical prisoners being offered amnesty.
