Encouraged by the tangible progress achieved in transforming the Salvadorian State and society since the signing of the Agreement in Chapultepec,

Resolved to consolidate and strengthen peace, democracy and a State based on the rule of law, which the Salvadorian people is building,

Aware of the need to comply fully and promptly with pending commitments,

Convinced, in this final and decisive stage of the process, that the national interest requires a special and concerted effort to attain this objective,

And the Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional (FMLN), for these same reasons and objectives, Decide:

1. To cooperate closely and actively in order to ensure full compliance with all the Peace Accords, both those pending and those being carried out, by no later than 30 April 1995.

2. To establish, to this end, joint mechanisms with the participation of the Government, FMLN and the United Nations Observer Mission in El Salvador (ONUSAL), and to determine the specific measures necessary for the rapid fulfilment of the aforementioned commitments.

Once the programme for speeding up the implementation of the Accords has been decided, the Government and FMLN shall together take measures to obtain from the international community any resources that may still be required.
