Status and implementation of the Bougainville Peace Agreement and implications for referendumThe target date for a referendum to decide on Bougainville’s political future has been set as 15 June 2019. The delayed referendum is a key milestone contained in a political settlement, the Bougainville Peace Agreement (BPA), which sought to reconcile a violent conflict from 1988–1997.
