D. Methodology of the work of the Commission. The principal source of the Commission's findings presented in this report was extensive meetings and interviews with eyewitnesses, survivors of the events, other individuals and groups of people with first- hand information, testimonies, reports and accounts relating to the Commission's specific mandate. Persons were interviewed individually and/or with someone they trusted; they were also told that their testimonies would be kept confidential. This methodology encouraged witnesses and produced credible accounts of their experiences. In response to follow- up questions, they were often able to provide additional details or observations about the precise manner in which the incidents they described had actually occurred. In some cases, they still bore the physical scars left by the events and the emotional toll of their recollections was evident These meetings and interviews also allowed the Commission to collect other documentary evidence, including photographs, audio recordings and videos.

The judicial inquiries directed by the Public Prosecutor, which are the most important element in establishing responsibility, have already ordered forensic examinations. II. BACKGROUND TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE COMMISSIONA. The fragile political context in C. The events connected with the march planned for 2. March 2. 00. 4 occurred against the background of a particularly volatile political situation in C. This power struggle manifests itself in various ways and aims at appealing to the various social forces within civil society and public opinion in order to gain additional popular support or influence. One example of this is the conflicting interpretations with respect to the degree of implementation of the Linas- Marcoussis and Accra II Agreements that prevailed at the time of the issuance of the present report. This situation complicated efforts towards peace and reconciliation. Two years of conflict had sharpened political differences and deepened the already severe social and economic conditions of the large majority of the population. The conflict, which broke out in September 2. The Stalemate in the peace process, as well as massive and widespread human rights abuses perpetrated by all parties to the conflict since then, have exacerbated rivalries and created new tensions among various communities living in C. Furthermore, recent conflicts in neighbouring countries, such as Liberia and Sierra Leone, have facilitated the proliferation of light weapons and the availability of former combattants in C. Despite the stalemate in the peace process, the main political forces had effectively already started campaigning, thereby stepping up the struggle for power. It is in that context of general mistrust and lack of confidence among the parties to the peace process that the Parti d. The political impasse intensified even further when six other parties, namely Rassemblement des R. The main objective of G7 was to ensure the full and effective implementation of the Linas- Marcoussis and Accra II Agreements. B. Events prior to 2. March 2. 00. 41. 6 On 1. March G7 released a memorandum in which it formulated grievances against the President of the Republic and listing the obstacles and difficulties that should be addressed in order to move the peace process forward. The same day, G7 expressed its intention to organise, on 2. March 2. 00. 4, a march meant to urge full and unhindered implementation of the Linas- Marcoussis Agreement. The planned public demonstration would demonstrate to national and international opinion that the portion of the population in favour of the Agreement was greater than that opposed to it. The demonstration was further intended to point out the obstacles purportedly created by President Gbagbo and his supporters with a view to undermining the effective and proper functioning of the Government of National Reconciliation, and thus help overcome, once and for all, the stalemate in the peace process. A day after the planned march was announced, Presidential Decree No. It banned public demonstrations until 3. April 2. 00. 4 ; however, the decree allowed political parties to hold meetings in closed spaces. According to the authorities, the Government had been prompted to prohibit public demonstrations, at least on a temporary basis, following the events of 9 March 2. Young Patriots and alleged partisans of President Gbagbo's Front populaire ivoirien (FPI) assaulted magistrates on the premises of the Palais de Justice in Abidjan, and a similar incident on 1. March when a group of Young Patriots attempted to dislodge ministers and members of the Forces nouvelles staying at the Golf Hotel in Abidjan. Numerous mediation efforts were undertaken by national, regional and international actors, including the Secretary- Gemeral, the Linas- Marcoussis monitoring committee, the Special Representative of the Secretary- General, the Foreign Minister of Nigeria and President John Kufuor of Ghana, also Chairperson of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), and even the traditional chiefs of C. In particular, it should be noted that the Secretary- General, on 2. March, appealed to the leaders of the Ivorian political parties to demonstrate statesmanship and engage in constructive consultations, as promised by President Gbagbo. Equally, the Special Representative of the Secretary- General, on 2. March, had urged the political parties to find a negotiated way out of the current political crisis. In view of the political tension which had intensified greatly since early March 2.
