[Nairobi-avtalen desember 1999]

In December 1999, The Carter Center brokered an agreement between the presidents of Sudan and Uganda to re-establish diplomatic relations between their countries and to promote peace in the region. In the “Nairobi Agreement,” the Sudanese and Ugandan leaders agreed to:

  • Respect each country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity
  • Renounce using force to resolve their differences
  • Disarm and disband terrorist groups
  • Cease support to rebel groups
  • Return all prisoners of war to their respective nations
  • Locate and return abductees to their families, and
  • Offer amnesty and reintegration assistance to all former combatants who renounce the use of force.

Since the signing of the Nairobi Agreement, The Carter Center has stationed field representatives in each nation’s capital and convened four high-level meetings to decide how best to put the agreement into action. At a July 2000 meeting held at The Carter Center, the Sudanese and Ugandan delegations made further progress and agreed to continue the resolution process. The Carter Center continues to spearhead this effort, working with the Sudanese and Ugandan governments and other international organizations.

The CRP also has assisted the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD), the body designated by the United Nations to handle peace mediations in Sudan, and the Initiative to Facilitate the Participation of Sudanese Women in the Peace Process, a local nongovernmental organization. The Carter Center acted as facilitator of a May 2000 conference in Maastricht, the Netherlands, attended by more than 100 women from Sudanese political parties and national and international nongovernmental organizations. The conference culminated in the signing of the Maastricht Declaration, in which Sudanese women agreed to work toward peace.
