Annex E Restoration of public administration in conflict zones
With the entry into force of the cease-fire, public administration shall gradually be restored in conflict zones, in
accordance with the following principles:
The full range of public services (such as water, electricity, telecommunications and roads) and other services provided by
the State in such areas as agriculture, education and health shall be restored as soon as possible.
Mayors who, because of the armed conflict, have performed their functions on an itinerant basis shall take up residence in
their respective municipalities as soon as possible, in close consultation with ONUSAL, in order to strengthen the
process of détente and reconciliation.
The administration of justice shall be re-established in a manner appropriate to the purposes of this Agreement and, in particular,
to the process of peace and reconciliation. Accordingly:
The administration of justice shall be re-established as soon as possible, in close consultation with ONUSAL, in
order to strengthen the process of détente and reconciliation.
The Government shall take appropriate steps to ensure that the re-establishment of the administration of justice does not
impair the effectiveness of the legislative or other measures adopted within the framework of this Agreement and of the peace and
reconciliation process to guarantee members of FMLN the full exercise of their civil and political rights.
The restoration of public administration shall not be detrimental to either the existence or the functioning of the non-governmental
organizations of a cultural, economic or social nature that have been established in conflict zones. As part of the process of peace and
reconciliation, appropriate channels between these organizations and the respective authorities shall be maintained, with the support
of ONUSAL.
