	SFOR - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Stabilisation Force (SFOR) was a NATO-led multinational force in Bosnia and Herzegovina which was tasked with upholding the Dayton Agreement.
		The commanders of the SFOR, who each served one year terms were General William Crouch, General Eric Shineski, General Montgomery Meigs, Lt. General Ronald Adams, Lt. General Michael Dodson, Lt. General John Sylvester, Lt. General William E. Ward, and Major General Virgil Packett.
		Troop levels were reduced to approximately 12,000 by the close of 2002, and to approximately 7,000 by the close of 2004.

	General Accounting Office
		SFOR levels in Bosnia increased from about 31,700 troops in August 1998 to about 36,100 troops at the time of the September elections in Bosnia\4 but are expected to decrease again by November 1998.
		SFOR's actions in all of these areas were consistent with its Dayton mission and were part of much broader international efforts that helped accelerate the pace of Dayton implementation.
		The mandate of IFOR and later SFOR was to (1) monitor and enforce the military aspects of the agreement, including the separation and cantonment of the Bosniak, Bosnian Croat, and Bosnian Serb militaries in Bosnia;\2 and (2) support the operation's civilian organizations in accomplishing their missions, when requested and if resources allowed.

		The SFOR commander used a format called Instructions to the Parties to inform all concerned of inappropriate behavior; the Instructions identified activities that were inconsistent with Annex 1-A of the GFAP and that consequently would not be condoned.
		SFOR and its civilian counterparts moved to neutralize the means being used by the Pale clique to enforce discipline within the Serb factions, to consolidate their grip on the RS, and to resist the requirements agreed to in the Dayton Accords.
		SFOR conducts quarterly a Joint Military Commission (JMC) meeting to be attended by all three entities' chiefs of staff and chaired by the SFOR commander or by the SFOR Deputy Commander for Operations.

	SFOR Plans Reduction of Troops in Bosnia and Herzegovina, December 17, 2003 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)

		SFOR's principal purpose remains to contribute to the maintenance of a safe and secure environment in Bosnia and Herzegovina that allows the international community and national authorities to develop accountable governments that promote peace, stability and respect for human rights, economic well being and self sufficiency.
		SFOR is also committed to support the rule of law throughout the country and supports the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY)'s efforts to apprehend Persons Indicted for War Crimes and hand them over to the appropriate authorities.

		SFOR promoted freedom of movement across the Inter Entity Boundary Line (IEBL) for all citizens of Bosnia-Herzegovina but was not expected to guarantee the movement of individuals throughout Bosnia-Herzegovina or forcibly return refugees.
		SFOR worked closely with the High Representative, the International Police Task Force, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), and The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY).
		SFOR assisted their efforts in such areas as the conduct of elections, the return of refugees and displaced persons, the maintenance of law and order and the investigation of war crimes, tasks essential to the long-term consolidation of peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

	Separate Opinion of Judge Robinson
		Much of what is sought by the accused from SFOR is typical of the material that would be required in some domestic jurisdictions by a person challenging the legality of his arrest, and which the arresting authority would be obliged to provide.
		It is immaterial whether SFOR’s action is characterised, as it is in the decision of the North Atlantic Council of 16 December 1995, as a detention, rather than an arrest; its action resulted in a deprivation of liberty, and it is the legality of that deprivation which is being challenged.
		This quasi police function of SFOR, whereby it virtually operates as an enforcement arm of the Tribunal, clearly impacts on the work of the Tribunal in the discharge of its fundamental purpose to prosecute persons responsible for serious violations of international humanitarian law.

		Loznica, April 19, 1999 (Tanjug - abridged) - Before the danger alarms were heard last night in the Loznica area, combat aircraft of the SFOR forces in Bosnia were flying to Drina, and returned suddenly flying along the border.
		Such manoeuvres of the SFOR aircraft are obviously in the function of the NATO forces which have been bombing Yugoslavia for already 26 days spreading death of innocent civilians and making enormous damages.
		These SFOR forces also render powerful military and logistic backup to the NATO aviation which sometimes tries to find a shelter landing at Tuzla or Sarajevo airports, often unsuccessfully.

		He said the mission of the Stabilization Force (SFOR) would be to "prevent a resumption of hostilities so that economic reconstruction and political reconciliation can accelerate." NATO ministers approved the SFOR plan on December 10, 1996, and the U.N. Security Council authorized the force on December 12, for an 18- month period.
		In late 1997, the United States and other countries participating in SFOR found themselves in much the same dilemma that they faced in late 1996 either pull out and face the possibility of a resumption of fighting, or remain in Bosnia and continue a seemingly open-ended commitment.
		Administration Policy on SFOR and an SFOR Follow-on Force (Prepared by Julie Kim and Steven Woehrel) Until November 1996, the Clinton Administration avoided making any firm pronouncements on possible successor missions to IFOR or possible U.S. participation in such a mission, emphasizing rather IFOR's scheduled completion and full withdrawal by the end of 1996.

		Dodik noted that SFOR recently discovered an illegal stash of weapons in Mostar in the Muslim-Croat federation and that the Bosnian Serb military might have been spying on the federation forces.
