• Comprehensive and Framework Agreements: The terms Comprehensive Agreements and Framework Agreements are often used interchangeably. However, there is a slight difference between the two types of agreements: o Framework Agreements are agreements that broadly agree upon the principles and agenda upon which the substantive issues will be negotiated. Framework agreements are usually accompanied by protracted negotiations that result in Annexes that contain the negotiated details on substantive issues, or are a series of subsequent agreements that are sometimes collectively known as the Comprehensive Agreement; o Comprehensive Agreements address the substance of the underlying issues of a dispute. Their conclusion is often marked by a handshake, signifying an historical moment that ends a long-standing conflict. Comprehensive agreements seek to find the common ground between the interest, and needs of the parties to the conflict, and resolve the substantive issues in dispute.
