It begins with an overview of the origins and nature of the conflict in Côte d'Ivoire, and provides a brief perspective on French involvement in the country and in Africa. The focus on the role of the French is carried through to a synopsis of the Linas-Marcoussis Agreement and the intervention of the Licorne force in Côte d'Ivoire. The report continues with an overview of progress with peace implementation at the political level and the role of the Monitoring Committee, and concludes with a summary of the Ivorian peace process to date.
