Acknowledge the need for the full implementation of the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement signed on 23rd January 2014, and the subsequent agreements on the implementation modalities of 24th February 2014 and the Recommitment on Humanitarian Matters of 5th May 2014;

and the Agreement to Resolve the Crisis in South Sudan signed on 9th May 2014;

Regret the numerous violations of the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement, and the continued violence and destruction caused by these violations, and the avoidable loss of lives that has resulted from this conflict;

Agree to respect the declared cessation of hostilities, to cease all hostile propaganda, and to full guarantee the protection of civilians;

Recommit to declaring the position of our forces, and to fully cooperate with the Monitoring and Verification Mechanism (MVM) to ensure that the implementation of the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement is completed without hindrance or delay;

commit to facilitate full and unhindered humanitarian access to all areas of South Sudan in compliance with the Agreements;

Now therefore,
