Tripartite Accord

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tripartite Accord (Arabic: الإتفاق الثلاثي) was an agreement between Lebanese feuding factions, the Shiite Amal movement, the Druze Progressive Socialist Party and the Christian Lebanese Forces. It was signed in Damascus, Syria on December 28, 1985, by Nabih Berri, Walid Jumblat, and Elie Hobeika on behalf of the three militias, respectively. The Tripartite Accord was supposed to put an end to the war and give strong influence to Syria regarding Lebanese matters. The agreement never came into effect due to Hobeika ousting on January 15, 1986, by Samir Geagea and Karim Pakradouni.
