What are the tasks of the AEC?
The AEC does not only monitor the implementation of the CPA but also offers ideas and support for CPA implementation and unity arrangements and advises and encourages the parties in that respect. It brings the parties together on a regular basis with governments from the region and beyond with a longstanding record of support for and experience of the peace process. It advises and encourages the parties. AEC’s monitoring role will grow in importance as the major milestones of the second half of the interim period – elections, popular consultation, the referenda, national reconciliation – approach, and decisions are taken on outstanding issues.
