Dispute Resolution Committee – 2005
2005
According to the 2005 CPA, all disputes related to the implementation of the ceasefire agreement would be referred to the Presidency as a last resort for dispute settlement. The agreement contained provisions for dispute settlement related to the implementation of the ceasefire agreement at lower levels. As provided, the Joint Military Team (JMT) was to monitor, verify and report alleged violations to the appropriate Area Joint Military Committee (AJMC). The AJMC was to monitor and verify alleged violations and resolve disputes. The AJMC was also instructed to refer unresolved complaints to Ceasefire Joint Military Committee (CJMC). The Ceasefire Political Commission (CPC) was to settle deadlocks arising from the ceasefire implementation as reported by the CJMC, and was to refer the unresolved ones to the Presidency.
All these mechanisms to settle disputes related to the implementation of ceasefire settlement were in place in 2005. The Ceasefire Political Commission was established on 27 August 2005 by presidential decree and its membership announced on 1 November 2005.1
