They have to lay down arms first.

as the IRA did in the peace talks in the UK.

Again, you have to have a really trustworthy partner (or a partner whose hands are really tied by their own problems) to even think of doing that. In most guerilla/terrorist conflicts in the world today, laying down your arms means you're all going to get arrested at best, with other alternatives being summary execution or genocide of your homes and families

Why exactly should you surrender your only bargaining chip (that is your ability to make random violence and terrorist attacks) to negotiate? It's like if, in divorce proceedings, the husband says "here, you can have the house, the car, and the kids, now let's start the trial"
