Abstract: A permutation group is {it binary} if its orbits on $k$-tuples, for any integer $kgeq2$, can be deduced from its orbits on $2$-tuples. Cherlin conjectured that a finite primitive binary permutation group $G$ must lie in one of three known families. In this paper we complete the proof of this conjecture. To do this we study the case where the group $G$ is almost simple of Lie type.
