Final agreement on management of combatants and weapons: Maoist rebels
and Nepal`s interim government signed a formal agreement on the management
of both sides` arms and weapons on 28 November 2006.
The
agreement came nearly three weeks after the main peace pact was inked between
the rebels and government ending a decade-long armed conflict in which
an estimated 14,000 Nepalese died.
The
key provisions of the "Agreement on Monitoring the Management of Arms
and Armies" include the cantonment of Maoist soldiers and their weapons
at designated sites. The government will also confine its soldiers to barracks
and they will be used only for providing security for prominent officials,
and for patrolling national parks, borders, banks, airports and power generation
sites.
United
Nations monitoring team members will have unlimited access throughout the
process to monitor both Maoist cantonment camps and army barracks to ensure
the agreement is being implemented. |

Maoists agree peace deal: The Maoists and the government have agreed
to manage weapons under a single-lock system of their respective commanders.
However the place will be under a strict and close-circuit sensitive monitoring
of the UN, which will be given free access to the storage, according to
reports. Accordingly, equal number of weapons from both sides would be
locked up within a single lock-up storage system. Once the detailed political
pact is signed, the UN would start its technical monitoring procedure.
The
deal lists a timetable as per which the Maoists will be joining the interim
government on December 1, 2006. The deal includes agreement on all issues
such as fate of monarchy, arms management, interim constitution, interim
legislature, interim government and electoral system for Constituent Assembly.
The
agreement was signed by Maoist chairman Prachanda on behalf of his party.
Likewise, on behalf of SPA, Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala, UML general
secretary Madhav Kumar Nepal, NC (Democratic) president Sher Bahadur Deuba,
People's Front president and deputy Prime Minister Amik Sherchan, general
