Abstract

The Chittagong Hill Tracts Peace Accord, signed in 1997 between the government of Bangladesh and the PCJSS, ended a long-standing armed conflict between the army and tribal communities. However, 15 years after its execution, key provisions remain unfulfilled, creating new political factions and security concerns. The paper argues for immediate government action to fully implement the treaty to preserve regional stability.
