The Dayton Agreement (or Dayton Accords) was the 'General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina', (Croatian: Daytonski sporazum,[1] Serbian and Bosnian: Dejtonski mirovni sporazum / Дејтонски мировни споразум), being the peace agreement reached at the United States Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio, on 21 November 1995, and formally signed in Paris, on 14 December 1995. These accords put an end to the three-and-a-half-year-long Bosnian War, one of the Yugoslav Wars.
The warring parties agreed to establish peace and to a single sovereign state known as Bosnia and Herzegovina composed of two parts, the largely Serbs of Bosnia and Herzegovina Serb-populated Republika Srpska, and mainly Croats of Bosnia and Herzegovina or Bosniak populated Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The agreement was been criticized for creating ineffective and unwieldy political structures and entrenching the Ethnic cleansing in the Bosnian War.[2][3]

"Consider, instead, one contemporary parallel, Bosnia: the degree to which the international community via the Owen-Vance plan, or even the later Dayton accord, actively promoted or endorsed the destruction of a multi-ethnic society; the degree to which it helped to facilitate the creation of a greater Serbia or an enlarged Croatia; the degree to which it was, at the very least, an accessory after the fact to both 'ethnic cleansing' and sub-genocide.".
