Claim: Liberia's civil war ended in April 2003.

The Accra Comprehensive Peace Agreement or Accra Peace Agreement was the final peace agreement in the Second Liberian Civil War . It was signed on the August 18 , 2003 , in Accra , Ghana . It was created following the signing of a ceasefire agreement on June 17 , 2003 , and `` intensive back-door negotiations '' beginning on June 4 in Akosombo , Ghana .   The Agreement called for the establishment of a post-war two-year transitional government -LRB- National Transitional Government of Liberia -RRB- which would consist of 76 members : 12 each from the three warring parties ; 18 from political parties ; seven from civil society and special interest groups ; and one from each of Liberia 's 15 counties . The warring parties , the opposition parties and civil society groups agreed to share ministerial portfolios and employment opportunities in the cabinet and parliament and elections were to be held no later than 2005 .   The peace agreement covered a broad range of intended reforms ; committing to a human rights inquiry through a truth commission , and vetting of the security forces on human rights grounds . Former Nigerian Head of State General Abdulsalami Abubakar facilitated the negotiations that led to the agreement . However , civil society played a strong role in the talks as well . Individuals representing inter-religious , human rights , pro-democracy , women 's rights , and legal organisations were included as official delegates , and many others attended unofficially as observers . Women were especially vocal in these peace discussions . Everyday between 150-200 refugee women activists arrived at the hotel where the talks were taking place to advocate to stop the shelling of Monrovia and the violence in their country . These women were organized by the ` Women of Liberia Mass Action for Peace ' .
