This resolution commemorates the 30th anniversary of the Dayton Peace Accords, a critical diplomatic agreement that ended the Bosnian War in 1995, recognizing the significant humanitarian and geopolitical context of the negotiations. The resolution reaffirms the United States and European Union's commitment to promoting human rights, democracy, and the rule of law in Bosnia and Herzegovina, while commending the country's ongoing efforts towards peace and potential NATO and EU membership. It highlights the brutal ethnic conflict that preceded the accords, including systematic ethnic cleansing and the Srebrenica genocide, and acknowledges the critical role of NATO airstrikes and U.S. diplomatic efforts in bringing the conflict to an end. The resolution calls for continued constitutional reforms, strengthening of governmental institutions, and cross-ethnic cooperation, while also urging support for the Office of the High Representative and regional cooperation to counter malign foreign influences. Additionally, it recognizes the important contributions of the Bosnian-American diaspora and the City of Dayton, Ohio, in facilitating the peace negotiations, and emphasizes the ongoing importance of the Dayton Peace Accords in promoting political, economic, legal, and religious equality in the region.
