The role of the OSCE in Bosnia: Lessons from the first year James A. Goldston1 'It would be a mistake to say there is peace in Bosnia', said a top NATO commander 18 months after the Dayton Peace Agreement was signed. 'We have only the absence of war.'2 Shortly afterward, a 'senior [Clinton] Ad- ministration official' was quoted, 'Our allies are getting into a fatalistic mood: Dayton's not working. The parties aren't cooperating. There will never be peace'.3 No less an authority than Carl Bildt, former High Representative in Bosnia-Herzegovina, concluded in his report to the United Nations in April 1997 that there was 'no fundamental improvement' in the 'disturbing trend towards ethnic separation', and lamented a 'widely observed lack of respect for human rights' .4 More than a year and a half and several billion dollars after the Dayton Peace Agreement was signed, Bosnia remains mired in ethnic tension, political division and economic decline. The return of refugees and displaced persons proceeds at a trickle, hard-line nationalists retain lock-holds on power, and, notwithstanding the recent, belated arrest of one war criminal (and the unfortunate killing of another) indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia
