Disarmament – 2006

The 2006 CPA does not specifically call for disarmament. Rather, the CPA and the subsequent Agreement on Monitoring of the Management of Arms and Armies (AMMAA) signed on 8 December 2006, demand that all Maoist weaponry be securely stored within a cantonment. These arms must be sealed within the container, which must have a single-lock and the key must be given to the concerned party. The containers were to be monitored by the UN. The Nepal Army was said to have placed an equivalent number of weapons, to those stored by the Maoist army, under around-the-clock United NationsÕ monitoring.
