The National Accord for Peace in Austeria, commonly known as the Yndyk Agreement or the Yndyk Accords, is the peace agreement signed at the University of Yndyk in Yndyk, Alsland on 14 August 1988, that ended the Austerian Conflict, a multifaceted ethno-nationalist and sectarian conflict that began in Austeria in the 1970s. It is made up of the internal settlement between the armed factions of the conflict, and the international treaty signed between them and the Austerian, Etrurian, and Piraean governments.
The accord attempted to end the ethnic and sectarian conflict by establishing a democratic and just system of governance centered around power sharing between ethnic and sectarian groups. It guaranteed political, economic, and cultural freedoms, reforms to the security forces, the establishment of a truth commission, the right of return for refugees, and the disarmament and demilitarization of the paramilitaries and the eventual release of prisoners. The agreement also included a treaty for normalizing relations between Austeria and its neighbours, including the lifting of the ban on the Novalian Revolutionary Front in Etruria.
The negotiations took place at the Sjoerdshof building at the University of Yndyk in Alsland. In addition to the three governments, the talks were mediated by Alsland and observed by Valduvia who assisted the Austerian Liberation Front during the period of democratization and economic transition. It was signed on 14 August 1988 and approved by the National People's Congress on 3 September 1988.
The agreement has left a mixed and controversial legacy in Austeria. It has been widely criticized for institutionalising and deepening the ethnic and sectarian tensions in Austeria instead of resolving them. Its shortcomings are generally considered to have caused the Years of Blood from the mid-1990s to the late 2000s, and to have allowed the Sigurimi to cement its influence in Austerian politics. Several provisions of the Accords, such as the disarmament of the paramililtaries and government power sharing, were successfully implemented, although its effectiveness has been subject to scrutiny.
