The distribution of 84 deputy minister posts was not included in the peace agreement, and disagreements over the issue led to tensions within the NTGL. However, demands for President Bryant`s resignation by the leaders of MODEL and LURD were quickly withdrawn, and the crisis passed after 66 of the candidates that President Bryant submitted to the Transitional Legislative Assembly were accepted.2 4. Places. Each Party shall indicate the location of its units, including combat equipment, and shall transmit this information in writing to the JVT within 72 hours of the signing of this Agreement.

This document is signed by all parties and is the reference document on the boundaries of their sites. 10. Communication. The Parties shall ensure that the terms of this Ceasefire Agreement and written orders requiring compliance are communicated without delay to all their armed forces. The terms of the contract shall be communicated to the civilian population simultaneously in print, electronically and otherwise. The Movement for Democracy in Liberia (MODEL), the rebel group that controlled southeastern Liberia, handed over 28 prisoners of war to the ICRC on 29 October 2003.1 MODEL was the first of three groups to release prisoners since the peace agreement. The Accra Comprehensive Peace Agreement or Accra Peace Agreement is the last peace agreement of liberia`s second civil war. It was signed on 18 August 2003 in Accra, Ghana.
It was born after the signing of a ceasefire agreement on 17 June 2003 and the “intensive negotiations in disguise” that began on 4 June in Akosombo, Ghana. [2] The main mechanisms for implementing the peace agreement, including the Implementation Monitoring Committee (CIM), were all in place until October 2003. On 27 November 2003, three armed groups reportedly renewed their demand for higher government posts. To address the situation, the IMC held its first meeting on 28 November, co-chaired by UNMIL and ECOWAS and composed of representatives of the African Union, the European Union and the International Contact Group. At the meeting, the Committee condemned the attempt by armed groups to make government positions a prerequisite for their participation in the DDRR programme. The meeting also recommended that appropriate measures be taken against parties that continue to violate the ceasefire agreement.

In view of the recent appointment of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations in Liberia, the Parties call for the urgent establishment of a Consolidated United Nations Mission in Liberia, which will have the necessary resources to facilitate the implementation and coordination of the political, social, economic and security assistance to be provided under this Agreement. 11. Changes.
The agreement may be amended by written agreement of the parties. The terms of the ceasefire have been generally respected, although there have been sporadic violations in the Monrovia area, including by continuing to harass civilians. Although LURD and MODEL were slow to provide the CMC with information on the lists and location of combatants and military equipment, the disarmament and demobilization of the armed forces was completed on 31 October 2004. By that time, the JMC had fulfilled its mandate, having convened a total of 14 times during the year to monitor compliance with the ceasefire agreement.1 The 2003 agreement required police reform. The Security Council also called for such reform in its resolution 1509 (2003). Nigeria`s former head of state, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, moderated the negotiations that led to the deal. [5] But civil society also played an important role in the talks. Individuals representing interfaith, human rights, pro-democracy, women`s rights and legal organizations were accepted as official delegates, and many others participated informally as observers. Women in particular have made their voices heard in these peace talks. Every day, between 150 and 200 refugee activists arrived at the hotel where talks were taking place to end the bombing of Monrovia and the violence in their country. [6] These women were organized by the Women of Liberia Mass Peace Action.
