		Following the 1995 General Framework for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina -- also known as the Dayton/Paris peace accords -- the central government structure in Bosnia and Herzegovina was established in 1996 with a three-member Presidency (one Croat, one Moslem and one Serb), with a rotating Chairman, as well as a two-chamber Parliament.
		The Dayton accords had created the means for establishing a common State through which ethnic rivalry ravaging the country could be overcome, and by which all parties could work together to reconstruct a Bosnia and Herzegovina capable of resuming its full place in the world.
		The peace, stability and unity of Bosnia and Herzegovina were of critical importance for resolving other problems in the region, most notably the problem of Kosovo, he continued.

		One striking example of this technique was the treatment of the Paris peace treaty of January 1973, which the United States was compelled to sign after the failure of its attempt to bludgeon North Vietnam into submission by the Christmas B-52 bombings of populated areas.
		The case of the Central America peace accords was similar.
		The peace plan specified one "indispensable element" for peace, namely, a termination of open or covert aid of any form ("military, logistical, financial, propagandistic") to "irregular forces" (the contras) or "insurrectionist movements" (indigenous guerrillas).

	The Daily Press - Ashland, WI
		Tuesday, October 11th, 2005 09:30:09 AM After years of grueling negotiations, the United States and the People's Republic of Vietnam finally signed the Paris Peace Accords marking the end of direct U.S. involvement the war in Vietnam-the longest war in American History.
		In effect, the Peace Accords allowed the United States to withdraw from Vietnam, reclaim its prisoners of war, and put the onus of waging a continuing struggle on South Vietnam.
		Progressive U.S. troop withdrawals made the need for a peace agreement increasingly more pressing because Nixon was also anxious to move on to other foreign policy matters, such as opening trade doors with China and concluding arms agreements with the Soviet Union.

		The Paris Accords were intended to put Cambodia on the road to peace, political stability, democracy and development.
		Unfortunately the Accords failed to overcome the single decisive factor that would determine whether Cambodia could attain its goals: The ruling party has never adopted the basic premises of democracy, and has never given up the ability to enforce its will by undemocratic means.
		Seven years after the adoption of the Paris Peace Accords, it is time to revisit them and renew their unfulfilled promise.

	Treaty of Paris Summary
		The Peace of Paris, signed by Britain, France, Spain, and Portugal, was ratified on February 10, 1763.
		In addition, according to many observers, the tax burden in the individual colonies was comparatively light, meaning that a modest increase would do far less damage than in Britain proper.
		The peace of 1763, which ended nearly a decade of imperial war, not only brought the British Empire to its height but also led to policies that caused Americans to protest what they considered British tyranny, and in 1775 to defend with arms what they felt were their rights and privileges.

		The 1991 Paris Peace Accords signaled the end of cold war alliances and alignments in Asia by bringing together the United States, Australia, key European countries, and major powers in the Asia region on both sides of the ideological divide.
		Through its participation in the Paris Accords, Tokyo moved away from the strict mercantilist approach to foreign assistance it had favored during the cold war to one that incorporated issues of conflict resolution and democratization.
		And since the factions were not demilitarized during the peace process earlier in the decade, the possibility remains of using the armed forces against political enemies other than the Khmer Rouge.
