The Security Council stated that the signing of the agreement is “the first step in reversing the difficult political and economic situation, and humanitarian, and security catastrophe resulting from this crisis, calls upon the parties, with support from the United Nations and international community, to fully implement the Agreement.” The Agreement establishes a “Transitional Government of National Unity” which will include representatives of all parties to the conflict and will oversee the implementation of a ceasefire within seventy-two hours of signature of the Agreement. The transitional government will further have control over the natural resources of the country and will oversee the implementation of the Petroleum Revenue Management Act (2012). The Agreement also includes provisions for the establishment of a “Commission for Truth, Reconciliation and Healing” as a “critical part of the peacebuilding process in South Sudan, to spearhead efforts to address the legacy of conflicts, promote peace, national reconciliation and healing.”
