"Thirty years ago this week, the Dayton Accords were signed in Paris,
bringing an end to the Bosnian war, the most destructive conflict Europe had
witnessed since 1945.

Weeks of intensive negotiations at an air base in Dayton, Ohio, finally
produced a settlement to a conflict that accompanied the disintegration of
Yugoslavia and saw more than 100,000 people killed and millions displaced.

The agreement was imperfect. But today, with war raging in Europe again and
international cooperation appearing fragile, the Dayton Accords remind us
that determined diplomacy can still prevail over violence."
