On 8 February 2006, at Tripoli, the Republic of Chad and the Republic of the Sudan signed the Tripoli Agreement to Settle the Dispute. The parties: Idriss Deby Itno and Omar Hassan A. Al-Bashir. Facilitators, on the instrument annexed to S/2006/103: Denis Sassou Nguesso, current President of the African Union, and Muammar Al-Qadhafi, High Peace Mediator within CEN-SAD; Francois Bozize Yangouvonda, for the Central African Republic, and Blaise Compaore, current President of CEN-SAD, also signed. Authentic texts: Arabic and French. It is not the 1976 Tripoli Agreement between the Philippines and the MNLF.

Article 1: restoration of trust, good-neighbourliness and cooperation. Article 2: scrupulous respect for the Constitutive Act of the African Union and the CEN-SAD Charter on Security — non-interference in internal affairs and the non-use of force to settle disputes. Article 5: normalisation of diplomatic and consular relations. Article 6: an end to hostile media campaigns.

Article 3: neither Party shall use its territory for subversive activities directed against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the other. Article 4: an immediate ban on the presence in either territory of rebel elements from the other Party. This is not a border-operations handbook.

Article 7: the Tripoli Summit establishes a ministerial follow-up committee, a mission to gather information on the ground, and a peace and security force to secure the common border. Article 8: the Parties cooperate with those mechanisms. This article does not describe the force's deployment.

Article 9: the Agreement enters into force immediately on signature. The tensions had followed incidents on the Chad-Sudan border in December 2005; Wikipedia writes that the Agreement ended the conflict — in April 2006 Chad severed diplomatic relations with Sudan. Infoboxes that list Qadhafi as a party are wrong: the Parties are Chad and Sudan.

The text was transmitted to the Security Council on 14 February 2006 as Annex II to a letter from the Permanent Mission of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya. The ministerial committee later met in Tripoli in March 2006 on follow-up to Articles 7 and 8; that meeting is not a second treaty.
