- The unhappy condition of the Bosnia and Herzegovinan Christians is caused in great measure by the nature of the relations subsisting between the rural population and the land owners. Agrarian difficulties have always had a peculiarly bitter character in the countries where the landlord class differs, either in religion, or nationality, from the bulk of the labourers.

- Despite the prohibition on discrimination against women in the GFA, the prospects for effective attainment of women’s legal rights remain weak. Factors related to the unlikeliness attaining this goal include inadequacies within existing human rights law and to the particular situation of women within Bosnia and Herzegovina. Experience elsewhere shows that women’s human rights are rarely given sufficient national priority or resources. Without attention to these problems, the guarantees of the GFA are unlikely to have a positive impact upon women’s lives in the reconstruction of Bosnia and Herzegovinan society.

- The Europeans would like to get the Americans involved in this matter, but Washington refuses to make the same mistakes as her European colleagues unless of course, as with the Kuwait issue, her interests are at stake. Furthermore, unlike other minorities, the Bosnia and Herzegovinans residing in the U.S. and Europe are a relatively small group and have no influence over the heads of Washington, London and Paris.

- The reality is we have had a failed policy there, from the U.S. standpoint, but more so from the allies and the multilateral standpoint. We have not succeeded in bringing the Serbs, Bosnian Serbs to the table with any credibility, with any willingness to enter into a peace accord where they do not end up with 70 percent of someone else’s country. And this accord that the contact group put together July 6 is no great accord. They end up with 49 percent of someone else’s country. And that someone else is the Bosnia and Herzegovinans who want to defend themselves.
