Despite the Seven-Point Agreement signed between the major parties on 1 November 2011, two critical sticking points remain in the immediate CPA
implementation process. Firstly, the negotiations for drafting and approving a new constitution are principally hung-up on agreement over the form of
government and the details of federal restructuring. Major breakthroughs will need to be achieved in the coming weeks in order to meet the 28 May
deadline, which was re-enforced by a Supreme Court ruling. Secondly, the parties are close but have not come to final agreement on the integration, voluntary retirement and rehabilitation of verified Maoist army personnel.
Both issues involve complex negotiations between the parties, but are also highly inter-linked to one another, to the resolution of other residual’political issues and to ever-shifting inter- and intra-party political dynamics. At the time of writing this Field Bulletin, two new issues have arisen that could bring additional complexity to the context. The abolition of the ‘all party mechanisms’ (which formed the means for political consultation in local governance in lieu of elected local bodies) may not have any immediate effect on ongoing services; however, if no alternative mechanisms are introduced, local political party representatives may become
obstructive in the formulation and implementation of next year’s district development plans. Additionally, the 12 January Cabinet decision to
‘legalise’ the decisions of the Maoist “people’s government” during the armed conflict (including the transfer of seized land) introduced significant
contention between parties just as they are attempting to reach consensus on core CPA implementation issues.
