This article examines the negotiation of security in landmark peace agreements brokered in Sudan (2002−2005) and Kenya (2008). It reviews the dominant literature on peace agreements, arguing that preoccupation with agreements' durability has led to the neglect of questions about whether and under what conditions agreements work to improve human security. The article calls for a different approach to analysis of peace agreements' quality that addresses how transformative they are of security conditions for ordinary people. Applying this lens to the Sudanese and Kenyan accords, it outlines the agreements' commitments to improved human security and the range of factors that shaped and undermined prospects for the realization of those commitments in practice, even prior to implementation. It concludes with lessons for international conflict resolution practitioners
