Observatores presentes: ÁLVARO VÁSQUEZ, NELSON BERRÍO, WILLIAM RAMÍREZ Y ÓSCAR REYESDescription
The agreement commits to international observers as part of the peace process. The document outlines principles for this observation. This is especially necessary because of the enduring differences over criteria and geographic delimitation for a ceasefire. They reaffirm their will to find a solution to the armed conflict and to re-initiate negotiations. The government guarantees the safe journey to the negotiations in Caracas. They agree on the creation of a number of commissions (regional on all issues of the ceasefire) and a national evaluation committee.
