The Dayton Accords:

The West created the Dayton Peace Accords to resolve the conflict and as a response to the tragedies of Srebrenica. The Accords are a set of appendices attached to a general framework of common goals for Serbians, Bosnians, and other groups in the Balkans to resolve their conflicts. In the appendices, the West drew up a compromise for Yugoslavia to be split into different nations/provinces, to separate the different ethnicities, and prevent future political conflict. The accords provided for an immediate cease-fire, troop withdrawal timetables, reparations for those hurt or affected by the conflict, and an international tribunal for those who committed crimes against humanity. The accords were signed on November 20, 1995.  The Accords provided a short-term compromise rather than a permanent solution, as demonstrated in the late 1990s.
