Agreement with Taif


The agreement with Taif (Arabic: اتفاقية الطائف) - an agreement terminating the Lebanese civil war concluded on October 22, 1989 in Taif, Saudi Arabia. It entered into force on 4 November 1989. The agreement is also referred to as the National Accord.

At the end of September 1989, the League of Arab States was convened in Taif by the Lebanese Parliament. On 22 October there was a so-called. National Consensus Card, what is considered a turning point in the civil war in Lebanon. The agreement envisaged far-reaching political reforms strengthening the position of the prime minister at the expense of the president. Syria has been entrusted with overseeing its implementation, with which Lebanon has special relations, according to the Charter.

In 1990, according to the Charter of National Consensus, amendments were made to the constitution giving greater power to the Muslims, and on December 24, 1990 the government of national unity was formed with the pro-Sunni leader, Omar Karami. He was heavily criticized by some groups, but he managed to keep up.

Since February 6, 1991, for the first time since the Israeli Operation "Litani" in 1978, Lebanese Army units have been deployed in the south of the country. On March 28, 1991, the government announced its decision to dissolve all Lebanese and non-Lebanese militias by April 30. The fighting continued, but with the departure of Lebanon by the opposition to Taif Gen. Michel Aouna (August 29, 1991), they began to gradually fade away.
