The General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina, known as the Dayton Agreement or Dayton Accords, is the peace agreement that ended the three-and-a-half-year Bosnian War, part of the larger Yugoslav Wars, signed on 21 November 1995 at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, and ceremonially re-signed in Paris on 14 December 1995. The warring parties agreed to a single sovereign state of Bosnia and Herzegovina composed of two parts, the largely Serb-populated Republika Srpska and the mainly Croat-Bosniak-populated Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Praised for establishing lasting peace, the Dayton Accords have also been criticized for creating an unduly complex system of political governance and for entrenching regional ethnic division.
