dc.description.abstract
The agreements recorded in the PA-X Peace Agreement Database and Dataset in 2024 show a
clear disconnect between agreement-making (in Colombia, primarily) and some of the deadliest
active armed conflicts (e.g., Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Palestine, where there have been no
formal, written, and public agreements in 2024. Additionally, for two years in a row, the PA-X data
record no new interstate and intrastate comprehensive peace agreements.
In total, there have been 43 new peace agreements signed in 2024. However, they have
been dominated by the talks between the Government of Colombia and Fuerzas Armadas
Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) and Ejército de Liberación Nacional (ELN), representing more
than half of the newly signed agreements at all levels of armed conflict (23 of 43, or 53%).
There have been seven local agreements in 2024 that we know of and are publicly available, from
processes in Colombia, Papua New Guinea, South Sudan, and Yemen.
31% of interstate and intrastate peace agreements reached in 2024 included at least one
provision referencing women, girls, gender or sexual violence. Although this is an increase on
gender provisions in 2023 (20%), and part of a positive trend since 1990, 31% is roughly in line
with annual proportions since 2018, which have ranged between 20-30% of peace agreements.
However, most of these references to women, girls, gender or sexual violence in 2024 have been
found in agreements in Colombia.
