The Ertonset Accords are bilateral peace agreements on diplomatic normalization and cessation of hostilities signed between North Kandson and South Kandson on September 15, 2002. Mediated by the Slavic Union, Vœyetska, and Zamastan, the accords led both parties to recognize each other's territorial autonomy and governance, as well as demarking a demilitarized line along the border of the two nations which had been determined following the 1961-67 Kandson Civil War. Since the end of the war, hostilities and insurgent activity remained constant throughout the 20th century with sporadic attacks and clashes killing hundreds of people. North Kandson's president, João dos Senell, had long been reluctant to sign a treaty, but promise of further trade and military supply from Zamastan was made under the premise of signing a peace agreement. The Slavic Union was encouraged to join mediation of the talks with the opportunity to recieve recognition from several Zamastanian-aligned nations in the region, namely the EUEEN bloc. Thus, Grigori Sokolo agreed to mediate, and the SU's participation granted them recognition in the CCA general assembly.
