For instance, both Rwanda and Liberia experienced ruthless civil wars, and the two civil wars ended with negotiated settlements including multiple dimensions of power-sharing provisions. While Liberia is experiencing relatively durable peace after signing the Accra Peace Agreement, Rwanda, on the other hand, experienced another civil war soon after signing the Arusha Accord.

I argue civil wars are more likely to lead to durable peace when power-sharing agreements are accompanied by an amnesty provision. Granting amnesty alleviates former belligerents' commitment problem in two ways and thus contributes to lasting peace when civil wars end with power-sharing between former warring parties. Providing amnesty would 1) reduce the chances of punishment regarding war-time crimes and 2) reduce the distrust between former enemies by presenting costly and credible signals.
