Everyone walks away knowing exactly what they are supposed to do, what to expect others to do, and what the consequences will be if they do not. When agreements fail, it is usually not because of what they contain, but because of what is missing, or because of what the signatories do despite what they have agreed.
最有效的和平协定是和平进程的重要组成部分。签订协议的第一步代表了各方采取必要后续措施的承诺。每个人离开谈判桌时都明确知道自己该怎么做、别人该怎么做、以及不这么做可能带来的后果。协议失败往往不是因为写进协议的内容，而是因为没有写入的部分，或者因为签字方明明签字同意却违反自己的承诺。只有当每个人都严格遵守时和平路线图才能发挥作用。否则就不能实现目标。
