- DescriptionThey agree that all EPL combatants will unite in first 9 to be reduced to 7 camps, the government will be in charge of them, and the location of these camps will be studied and agreed by an EPL-government commission. The agreement includes a precise timeframe for each of these steps. They agree on the creation of 4 bilateral commissions of each two members from EPL and the government to study within a clear timeframe: political aspects, regional processes and development plans, causes of the violence, and for logistics of the camps. Once these provide conclusions to their analyses, the EPL will designate its legal representatives and take steps toward the completion of the process. They are seeking a political solution to the conflict, also to allow the EPL to join the political system and for the creation of conditions for reinsertion for its members. They call on other groups to do the same.
