 The role of NATO in the Peace Agreement for Bosnia and Herzegovina
The willingness of NATO to play such a fundamental part in the implementation of the Peace Agreement shows that the member States have been able to adapt their political understanding of the role of the Alliance in the international order to the new security priorities of the post-cold war era.
The IFOR experience not only will provide practical experience of co-operation between the Alliance and the armed forces of other States, (notably those taking part in the Partnership for Peace program), but it has provided the Alliance with a model for future multinational deployments on a medium to large scale.
Other possible important implications of this distinction which will not be discussed here are in respect of the applicable jus in bello should armed clashes occur between IFOR troops and local military or paramilitary groups, and in respect of possible disputes in the control and direction of the forces contributed by States.
