Local agreement properties

  • Process type
    Isolated example
  • Rationale
    Although there was an existing, formal peace process at the national level, this agreement appears to have been brokered on an ad-hoc basis to respond to an outbreak of localised violence in a previously peaceful part of the city.
  • Is there a documented link to a national peace process?
    Yes
  • Link to national process: articulated rationale
    Although the agreement text itself does not mention the national process, an account by an ECMM monitor Colm Doyle suggests that the EC were concerned that the fighting risked derailing the national ceasefire agreement the European Community were trying to reach, due to Lord Carrington's imminent arrival via the airport - which was next to the area where the outbreak of fighting was taking place.
