Dayton, IFOR and alliance relations in Bosnia

Article Abstract:

The Dayton Agreement, 1995 and the Bosnia Peace Implementation Force led by North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) have induced important insights into the future of alliances in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The agreements have failed to implement the civilian and economic aspects of peace, while military intervention helped to attain political objectives. However, these pacts fail to act as the future models as they are very intensive and expensive ways of maintaining peace. The United Nations should re-assume the security responsibilities that are currently being taken care of by NATO.

Washington has a responsibility too

Article Abstract:

It is unlikely to be possible to resolve the issue of integration versus separation in Bosnia, through any negotiations other than the Dayton Agreement. The agreement was a compromise, but reopening it would be hazardous with unpredictable results. An international military presence will need to remain in Bosnia, probably beyond summer 1998, so as to not to generate insecurity amongst Bosnians, with premature deadlines.

Partition: An exit strategy for Bosnia

Article Abstract:

The Dayton Agreement has failed to create a self-sustaining peace in Bosnia because none of the parties have accepted its vision of a multi-ethnic Bosnia. Ending ethnic wars requires demographic separation, along with partition to dampen ethnic violence. The West should allow the Bosnian Croats to officially join Croatia and define a boundary between Serbs and Muslims which will be defensible.
