And the Free Acheh Movement
Explanatory Note for Article 3b
This note is intended as HDC's interpretation of the clauses in the Framework
Agreement relating to GAM weapons (Article 3) and provide guidance in the
manner to carry out the responsibilities to the HDC in that part of the Agreement.
By this agreement the GAM has agreed to place its weapons in designates sites
according to the time period outlined in Article 3b. These sites will be
designated by GAM and their location communicated to HDC.
It is our interpretation that under the agreed upon system, GAM will not
be able to move the weapons that have been placed in the designated sites
without the consent of HDC. GAM has to comply with the request of HDC to
conduct no-notice inspections at any time.
HDC will keep the JSC informed of the results of these visits i.e. that the
sited visited contain the weapons place there and whether they continue to
remain in the designated sites. Any breach will be communicated to the JSC.
