Richard Holbrooke
What Can We Learn from the Dayton Accords?
With Richard Holbrooke’s passing, there’s a great deal of discussion about the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnian and Herzegovina, better known as the Dayton Accords. Given the fact that the peace has held for over 15 years, most people don’t realize the Accords had major flaws built into it.
Richard Holbrooke, Peacemaker
He will forever be remembered as a peacemaker. As far as I am concerned, there is no higher honor. Rest in Peace, Ambassador.
