The major Catholic-based group the Irish Republican Army

DUBLIN, Republic of Ireland (AP) -- The major Northern Ireland Protestant paramilitary group, the Ulster Defense Association, announced Sunday it was formally renouncing violence, but a commander said the group would not surrender its weapons to international disarmament officials.
The group, which has an estimated 3,000 members across hardline parts of Northern Ireland, has loosely observed a cease-fire since 1994, but until now has refused to surrender a single bullet or bomb -- a major objective of a 1998 peace accord.
It is the last of Northern Ireland's underground armies to renounce violence. The major Catholic-based group the Irish Republican Army, did so and disarmed in 2005, but also refused to give its weapons to international officials.
The group said in a statement that at midnight Sunday it would "stand down with all military intelligence destroyed, and, as a consequence of this, all weaponry will be put beyond use."
The UDA's south Belfast commander Jackie McDonald confirmed the group would not surrender its weapons to international disarmament officials.
"They are the people's guns," McDonald said.
