Peace Agreement between the Governement of Sierra Leone and the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) (Lomé Peace Agreement)

This comprehensive agreement reaffirms the cessation of hostilities of 18 May 1997 and provides for power-sharing arrangements between the elected government and the RUF. It also provides provisions on DDR and the transformation of the RUF into a political party.
