This event was organized by the Inclusive Peace & Transition Initiative (IPTI), the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) and the Permanent Mission of Germany to the United Nations in Geneva, as part of the Geneva Peace Week

The signing of agreements does not necessarily signify the end of the road when it comes to securing sustainable peace. What can cross-context evidence from historical cases tell us about peace agreements that are not successfully implemented? How can post-agreement periods be planned and managed in a more effective way? The discussion will focus on three cases: Yemen (National Dialogue Conference, 2013 and 2014), Afghanistan (Bonn Negotiations, 2001) and Sri Lanka (Ceasefire Agreement, 2002). In each of these countries, ambitious negotiations failed to prevent the resumption of violence, often between the very actors seated at the negotiation table.
