to work together to
ensure effective communications and develop procedures necessary for
preventing parties participating in the cessation of hostilities from
being attacked by Russian Armed Forces, the U.S.-led Counter ISIL
Coalition, the Armed Forces of the Syrian government and other forces
supporting them, and other parties to the cessation of hostilities.
All parties further commit to work for the early release of detainees, particularly women and children.
Any party can bring a violation or potential violation of the
cessation of hostilities to the attention of the Task Force, either
through the OSE or the co-chairs. The OSE and Co-Chairs will establish
liaison arrangements with each other and the parties, and inform the
public generally about how any party may bring a violation to the
attention of the Task Force.
The United States and the Russian Federation as co-chairs confirm
that thecessation of hostilities will be monitored in an impartial and
transparent manner and with broad media coverage.

The United States and
Russia agreed Monday on a new cease-fire for Syria that will take
effect Saturday, U.S. officials said,even as major questions over
enforcing and responding to violations of the truce were left
unresolved.Where in Syria the fighting must stop and where
counterterrorism operations can continue also must be addressed.

If one has no mechanism or plan to address violation of the truce, then clearly, there will be no truce.

The
officials said the new timeline for the hoped-for breakthrough comes
after the two former Cold War foes, which are backing opposing sides in
Syria's civil war, agreed on terms for the "cessation of hostilities"
between Syrian President Bashar Assad's government and armed opposition
groups. Those sides must accept the deal by Friday.
