The British Government puts forward the following amplified proposals for the establishment and maintenance of a comprehensive monitored cease-fire agreement. Basis of the Cease-fire 2. The purpose of the cease-fire is to bring an immediate end to hostilities and to establish peaceful conditions which will allow elections to take place, the people of Zimbabwe to choose their future government and Zimbabwe to become independent on the terms which have been agreed at this Conference. Given a commitment by all the parties to abide by the results of the elections, it will also provide a basis on which post-war military problems can be resolved by agreement and a lasting peace can be established. Responsibility for the Cease-fire 3. The Commanders of the forces involved will be directly responsible to the Governor for the maintenance of the cease-fire by all the forces under their command. 4. The Governor will be assisted by a British Military Adviser of the rank of Major-General. The Rhodesian security forces and the Patriotic Front will nominate equal numbers of military representatives to a Cease-fire Commission which will be established in Salisbury from the beginning of the cease-fire. The Chairman of the Commission will be the Governor's Military Adviser. The Commission will meet as required throughout the cease-fire. Its functions will include: (a) ensuring compliance with agreed arrangements for the security and activities of the forces; (b) the investigation of actual or threatened breaches of the cease-fire; and (c) such other tasks as may be assigned to it by the Governor in the interests of maintaining the ceasefire. The Commission will be independent of existing command structures and the Governor may at his discretion communicate with any commander concerning the exercise of their functions. Any member of the Commission may invite it to discuss any question which appears to him to be relevant to its functions. Monitoring the Cease-fire 5. The British Government will be responsible for the establishment of a monitoring force which will assess and monitor impartially all stages of the inception and maintenance of the cease-fire by the forces and assist the Ceasefire Commission in its tasks. The organisations will operate under the authority of the Governor and the command of his Military Adviser. The Commanders of the Rhodesian security forces and of the Patriotic Front forces will be required to undertake to co- operate fully with the monitoring force and to provide it with whatever facilities are necessary to assist it to discharge its functions. 6. Elements of the monitoring force will be assigned: (a) to maintain contact with the Rhodesian security forces and Patriotic Front forces command structures throughout Rhodesia; (b) to monitor and observe the maintenance of the cease-fire by the respective forces; and (c) to monitor agreed border-crossing points and the use made of them in accordance with such arrangements as may be agreed in the context of the cease- fire.
