The High-Level Revitalization Forum Addendum to the Agreement on the Cessation of Hostilities, Protection of Civilians, and Humanitarian Access, signed on 22 May 2018 in Addis Ababa, aims to enhance the implementation of the original agreement signed on 21 December 2017 among South Sudanese parties. This addendum emphasizes the operationalization of the Ceasefire and Transitional Security Arrangements Monitoring Mechanism (CTSAMM) to monitor and ensure compliance with the ceasefire and facilitate the full implementation of the Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan (ARCSS).
