After much suspense and debate, The Nepal Government and Maoist guerrillas finally signed a tripartite agreement with United Nations for the monitoring and management of arms and armies while Nepal goes into a constituent assembly and elections.

The agreement contains details of the management of weapons and combatants and clears the way for UN Security Council to pass necessary resolutions that would allow the deployment of peacekeepers and monitors. As part of the agreement, both parties will confine their respective combatants to their cantonments and store weapons in keeps that are controlled by the UN peacekeepers.
