The head of the International Commission on Decommissioning, General John de Chastelain, will present his latest report on disarmament in the North this week.
The report, which follows renewed discussions with the IRA about putting arms "beyond use", will then be made public next week.
Earlier today, Ulster Unionist MP Jeffrey Donaldson, a staunch critic of the Good Friday Agreement, said he doesn't anticipate any significant progress.
