What is the legal basis for the AEC?
The AEC was established in accordance with the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA). Article 2.4 of the Machakos Protocol calls for an Assessment and Evaluation Commission to be established to: “monitor the implementation of the Peace Agreement”. The exact composition, tasks and location of the AEC are determined by the CPA itself, Republican Decrees No. 36 of October 30, 2005, No. 253 (2005), No. 38 (2008) and No. 39 (2008) as well as the Commission’s Rules of Procedure.
