For more information, please contact [email protected]. Making Peace in Bosnia Work Elizabeth M. Cousens* This symposium asks "what makes peace agreements work" and specifically directs us to explore the degree to which and how "quasi- sovereigns" determine the answer. At a minimum, a peace agreement could be said to "work" when formerly warring parties honor their commitments more than they renege, and when a broader constituency develops within post-war society to support that agreement's basic provisions. Along both dimensions, the peace agreement providing the framework for politics in Bosnia today works haltingly at best.' The explanation for its inadequacies has very little to do with quasi-sovereignty, however. Rather, it has a great deal to do with the decisions and actions of the all-too-sovereign national governments and major international agencies that enjoy a disproportionate influence over the implementation of the peace agreement's key provisions.

Unlike the nominate form, the genetically similar subspecies P.a. parkelj from Bela Krajina in Slovenia is pigmented and might represent a distinct species, although a recent genetic study suggests that the two subspecies are poorly differentiated at the molecular level and may not even warrant subspecies status (Goricki and Trontelj 2006).

  • Minority Women: Obstacles to Their Return and Integration
    DAUNTING PROSPECTS MINORITY WOMEN: OBSTACLES TO THEIR RETURN AND INTEGRATION UNITED NATIONS HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR REFUGEES with the assistance of the UNITED NATIONS HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS (Sarajevo, April 2000) This study was researched and written by Ms. Alice Edwards, with the invaluable assistance in the form of field visits or legal advice of Ms. Sabina Cejovic, Ms. Nefisa Medosevic, Ms. Svetlana Pejdaj, Ms. Ljiljana Santic and Ms. Djurdica Zoric, as well as particularly, Ms. Sirpa Rautio from the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In light of the legal obligations of the State and Entity authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina (“BiH”) under various international conventions to respect the rights of women and to ensure their full development and advancement in society, and considering independent estimates that one household in five is female-headed (20%)1 and women are assessed as the primary income earners in 15% of households, 2 an analysis of the current situation faced by displaced and returnee women, as well as their return and integration potential, is long overdue. Four and a half years since the signing of the General Framework Agreement for Peace (“GFAP”) in December 1995, there is still no systematic gender analysis employed by either international actors or local authorities in their work. While there have been efforts by some international actors in BiH to include a gender analysis and to promote gender equity in the areas covered by this study, in general this has not been the case. There is a clear lack of gender disaggregated statistics and information available.
