PA-X Peace Agreements Database

PA-X is currently the most expansive collection of peace agreements data in the world. Now in Version 7, PA-X contains 2,003 peace agreements, found in more than 150 peace processes between 1990 and 2023.

The dataset features an archive of agreement texts in pdf format, a corpus of agreement texts (all translated into English by translators with expertise in law, legal studies, or countries from which the agreements originated), a human-coded dataset that covers agreement metadata and 230 substantive categories of issues covered in agreement texts. PA-X also contains sub-datasets on local agreements, gender, and amnesties.

The data can be searched using a variety of parameters, enabling users to download any subset of data (or the corpus) required for their project. Additionally, users are able to view any subset of agreements selected through the search via a timeline feature for search results.

PA-X data underpins a range of digital tools to support policy and practice, including visualisations, trackers, interactive timelines, infographics, and a mobile app.
