According to the Bosnian delegation's American legal adviser, former State Department official Paul Williams, the NATO-led international peacekeeping force in Bosnia "would neither interact with indicted war criminals nor tolerate their presence in the area of operation.

The Dayton Accords, negotiated at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, in November 1995, ended the war in the former Yugoslavia, established the current political divisions in the region, and provided for international oversight and implementation of the peace plan.
But the Dayton Accords were meant to end the war, and to allow this country to regain its footing, to stand on its own feet again, and to allow people to live in peace together, and the Dayton Accords have succeeded.
But certainly, all of us who were present at Dayton as I was, 10 years ago, and all of us who believe in the Dayton Accords have always understood, both here in Europe and in the United States of America, that the Dayton Accords needed to evolve.

 A Feminist Appraisal of the Dayton Peace Accords
A close examination of the Dayton Peace Accords leaves one with the impression that the responsibility for addressing past violations of human rights is being given to the international community, through both intergovernmental and nongovemment organisations.
The general references in the Accords to the necessity to work toward rehabilitation and reintegration have not proved sufficient to encourage either the national government or the Entities to address the situation of the victims, including the women who were raped and sexually assaulted.
It is not clear that the Accords or the negotiations leadiiag to the Accords gave sufficient attention to the importance of putting in place a mecimnism which would allow for an in depth discussion of the legacy of the war.

 Bosnia-Hercegovina Update: Non-Compliance with the Dayton Accords
The Dayton peace agreement, which brought an end to the fighting in Bosnia, emphasized the right of displaced persons and refugees to return to their homes and the right of minorities to security and freedom from discrimination.
Regrettably, however, the signing of the Dayton agreement did not bring an end to the forced displacement or harassment based on ethnic criteria of the civilian population.
Although a fundamental right guaranteed by the Dayton agreement, return to their homes in Bosnia and Hercegovina has been nearly impossible for those wishing to return to an area where the majority of current residents are from another ethnic group.

However, according to a senior Senate Democratic source, Dayton had a conversation with Senate minority leader Harry Reid within the past week in which Reid made it clear that if rumors of Dayton's disenchantment with campaigning and fundraising and Washington were true, he should make the decision now for the good of the party.

The Dayton Conference attracted the most influential US diplomats working on the Balkans, high dignitaries from various Bosnian factions, the president of Croatia with his fleet of advisers and diplomats and, finally, the Yugoslav politicians--the president of Montenegro, the foreign policy adviser to the president of Yugoslavia, and the representatives of Kosovo Albanians.
At the Dayton Conference, the most extreme current was represented by a Bosnian Muslim politician, Haris Silajdzic, who demanded that the two entities composing Bosnia today (Muslim-Croat Federation and Republika Srpska) be abolished, to effect a “unitarization” of this country.
Nevertheless, the Dayton Conference ended with recommendations for the new US administration that were compiled by a group of non-governmental organizations which did not come from the region in question.

 Review of the Dayton Accords
Two very high political prices have been paid for the brand of peace represented in the Dayton accords: 1) it sets a very dangerous example by legitimizing the achievements of sectarian violence; 2) it sidelines the UN in favor of NATO as the central tool of international conflict resolution.
The accords postpone the problem for 180 days by prohibiting the import of mines, heavy weapons or their ammunition, military aircraft or helicopters.
Parties should instead be required to agree to further Treaty Limited Equipment (TLE) restrictions including, for example, all self-propelled or towed weaponry, further rounds of reductions of TLE year on year, a moratorium on the introduction of new weapon types, and prior notification of all weapon acquisitions.
