TIMETABLE OF THE BILATERAL CEASE-FIRE MODALITIES

D DAY Initialling of the agreement by the Government of the Republic of Angola and UNITA on general and specific principles and procedures concerning the agenda items of the Lusaka II Talks.

D + 10 Meeting of the general staffs of the FAA and the military forces of UNITA under United Nations auspices with UNAVEM and the observers present to establish the technical modalities for the cessation of hostilities “in situ” for:

- The disengagement of forces;

- Logistical matters;

- The setting-up of verification mechanisms;

- Communication lines;

- Movement itineraries;

- Specific numbers, type and location of forces;

- Quartering areas for UNITA forces.

D + 15 Date of the formal signing of the Protocol of Lusaka by the Government of the Republic of Angola and UNITA and beginning of its implementation.

Public announcements by the Government of Angola and UNITA on the re-establishment of the cease-fire.

D + 17 Phase one

The first phase consists of five steps that must be taken by both sides

- Step one begins with the end of all offensive movements and military actions "in situ" throughout the national territory.

Both sides are restricted from moving.

The cessation of hostilities "in situ" means that military forces will stay where they arc.

Military forces can be supplied with food and medicines under the verification and monitoring of the United Nations.

They cannot receive any military equipment, lethal or otherwise.

All offensive movements and military actions are prohibited.

Prior to the arrival of United Nations observers, the general staffs of both parties are encouraged to take joint measures to reduce the likelihood of cease-fire violations and to investigate incidents.

The United Nations will be notified of the evacuation of sick and wounded combatants to ensure control and verification.

- Step two begins with the installation of verification, monitoring and control mechanisms (to include triangular communications) by the United Nations.

This step includes notification by each side of all the relevant military data to the United Nations.

The United Nations will create and put in place UN teams to monitor and verify the cessation of hostilities throughout the national territory and investigate alleged cease-fire violations.

United Nations assets will be deployed on a prioritized basis.

Step three begins with the release of all civilian and military prisoners detained or withheld as a consequence of the conflict, under the supervision of the ICRC.

Step four

a) Step four involves the limited disengagement of forces in areas where forces are in contact (both sides will disengage) under the supervision of the United Nations.

Both sides will be made aware of any movements that occur.

In places where troops are in contact, the forces of both sides will stop firing and position themselves in a defensive posture.

Both sides will conduct a limited disengagement (this will be a small movement to avoid direct or indirect fire) with the assistance of the United Nations.

The disengagement will be coordinated and agreed to by the United Nations, the FAA and UNITA forces.

UNITA troops will pull back to an area designated by the United Nations and agreed to by the general staffs.

FAA forces will pull back to their nearest barracks.

The disengagement will be supervised by the United Nations.

b) In places where FAA and the military forces of UNITA are not in contact, both sides will merely remain where they are.

The United Nations will be officially informed of the locations of these units by both sides.

The modalities of resupply specified in step one still apply.

c) In all cases, both sides will furnish the United Nations with details concerning their respective forces to include number of men, composition and type of force, type of equipment and specific location.

This will allow the United Nations to install the appropriate verification, monitoring or control mechanisms.

- Step five involves the repatriation of all mercenaries in Angola.

D + 45 Phase two

The second phase consists of six steps:

- Step one begins with the reinforcement of existing United Nations personnel, both military observers and armed peacekeeping forces.

This reinforcement will permit the withdrawal of UNITA military forces from areas that they occupy, the effective verification and monitoring of those areas being abandoned by UNITA military forces, and the verification and monitoring of Government forces which continue to remain “in situ”.

- Step two involves the United Nations in coordination with both sides establishing quartering areas, itineraries, and identifying means for the conduct of the movement of the military forces of UNITA to quartering areas.

For United Nations planning purposes, the number of quartering areas is expected to be at least twelve.

During this step, Government

and UNITA forces continue to remain in place.

Once conditions have been defined for the quartering of UNITA forces, the United Nations will inform the two camps of the precise modalities of the withdrawal.

- Step three starts with the movement of the military forces of UNITA to quartering areas.

As the military forces of UNITA withdraw, the United Nations will verify and monitor those areas being vacated.

The FAA will continue to remain in place and will not be permitted to occupy the areas being abandoned by the military forces of UNITA until the integration of the military forces of UNITA into the FAA.

At the same time as the UNITA military forces are moving to quartering areas, Government forces, in coordination with the United Nations, can pull their forces back to areas where they can be easily verified and monitored by the United Nations.

In most cases, Government forces will return to the areas where they are headquartered.

The concept is that Government forces will be centralized for the ease of verification.

However, no movement of forces will take place without United Nations notification and verification.

Movements of forces will be progressively monitored and verified by the United Nations and will be conducted based on the availability of assets.

United Nations personnel will be deployed in accordance with the new United Nations mandate.

- Step four involves the completion of the quartering of the military forces of UNITA and the collection, storage and custody of their armaments under the supervision and control of the United Nations.

It also includes the start of the collection, storage and custody of all the armaments in the hands of civilians by the National Police with verification and monitoring by the United Nations.

The operation to collect all the lethal war material of UNITA’s military forces will be conducted directly by the general staff and the command elements of all these troops under the United Nations verification, monitoring and control.

The United Nations will, as part of a consecutive action, collect this lethal war material and will proceed to store and take custody of it as previously agreed.

Ammunition and material storage locations will be located in separate areas from the quartering locations.

- Step five consists of the conclusion of the quartering process, the return of UNITA generals to the FAA, the beginning of the selection of the military forces of UNITA for FAA and demobilization of excess forces.

Selection for the FAA and demobilization of the military forces of UNITA will only begin once the quartering process has been completed.

- Step six includes the verification by the United Nations, in accordance with its mandate, of the free circulation of persons and goods.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES

1. The serious crisis prevailing in the country requires a comprehensive solution that would lead to the coming together once again of Angolans to live together peacefully in the same Fatherland and in a spirit of cooperation, in the pursuit of the common good.

All human endeavours in the political, economic, social and cultural fields should reflect the great objective of National Reconciliation in order to build an Angolan society marked by progress and tolerance.

2. National Reconciliation, today a national imperative, is the expression of the people’s will which is translated unequivocally by the political will of the Government of the Republic of Angola and UNITA to live together within the Angolan constitutional, political and legal framework, reaffirming particularly their respect for the principles of accepting the will of the people expressed through free and fair elections and the right to opposition.

3. National Reconciliation has as its objective, inter alia, the reestablishment of a just and lasting peace in Angola and to make it possible, in strict respect for the legislation in force and by respecting the relevant provisions of the Bicesse Accords and the Lusaka Protocol, for all Angolans to participate in the promotion of a social climate of tolerance, fraternity and mutual trust.

4. National Reconciliation implies:

(a) The acceptance by all Angolans, irrespective of party or religious affiliation and racial or ethnic differences, to live in the same Fatherland with a spirit of fraternity and tolerance;

(c) That, in the pursuit of national interest, UNITA members participate adequately at all levels and in the various institutions of political, administrative and economic activity;

(d) That, in accordance with Article 54(d) and (e) and Article 89 (c) and (d) of the Constitutional Law of the Republic of Angola, the administration of the country be effectively decentralized and de-concentrated;

(e) Condemnation of the use of violence as a means of settling disputes or conflicts between the various forces constituting Angolan society;

such issues should be settled peacefully;

(f) The use of the mass media to help pacify minds in support of the process of coexistence, national reconciliation and the consolidation of the democratic process, under the terms of Article 35 of the Constitutional Law, respecting the relevant provisions of the Bicesse Accords and the Lusaka Protocol.

5. In the spirit of National Reconciliation, all Angolans should forgive and forget the offences resulting from the Angolan conflict and face the future with tolerance and confidence.

Furthermore, the competent institutions will grant an amnesty, in accordance with Article 88 (h) of the Constitutional Law for illegal acts committed by any one prior to the signing of the Lusaka Protocol, in the context of the current conflict.

II

SPECIFIC PRINCIPLES

1. In order to promote, within the Angolan society, the spirit of tolerance, coexistence and trust mentioned in the general principles, the Government of the Republic of Angola and UNITA shall conduct an adequate campaign to sensitize Angolan and international opinion.

2.
