The State of Eritrea and the Republic of Djibouti agreed to resolve their border dispute peacefully through mediation led by the State of Qatar. Both governments formally authorised His Highness Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, Emir of Qatar, to issue a binding resolution, affirming their commitment to third-party arbitration and international legal standards.
Qatar established a joint committee, chaired by its Prime Minister, with representatives from both countries. This body would appoint an independent international firm to demarcate the contested border per internationally recognised norms. Both Eritrea and Djibouti committed to submitting complete lists of prisoners of war and missing persons, enabling exchange and investigation under Qatar’s supervision.
The parties also agreed to submit all documentation necessary to support the demarcation process. The joint committee’s final decision on the boundary would carry binding authority, and Qatar would oversee its implementation. To reinforce legitimacy and transparency, Qatar would deposit the agreement with the United Nations, the African Union, and the League of Arab States.
