Description
This is a short agreement where the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government approve the decisions taken by the ECOWAS Standing Mediation Committee. Note: The Agreement Date is printed as 'Done at Bamako this 28th Day of August 1990'. We believe this to be a misprint in the agreement as ECOWAS sat in Bamako in November 1990 and not in August (further demonstrated by the registration of this decision as A/DEC.1/11/90). We have therefore dated the signature of this agreement as 28/11/90.
