This is a commemorative resolution marking the 30th anniversary of the Dayton Peace Accords, which ended the devastating Bosnian War in December 1995. The resolution acknowledges the horrific violence that preceded the peace agreement, including ethnic cleansing and the Srebrenica genocide where over 8,000 Muslim men and teenagers were killed. It recognizes that NATO airstrikes, led by the United States, helped force negotiations that ultimately succeeded through the dedication of diplomats and a shared desire for peace.

The resolution celebrates how the peace agreement has allowed Bosnia and Herzegovina to rebuild over the past three decades with support from NATO and the European Union. It highlights recent progress, including the EU opening membership negotiations with Bosnia in 2024 and NATO strengthening its partnership with the country in 2025. The resolution also acknowledges Dayton, Ohio's important role in hosting the negotiations and the approximately 350,000 Americans of Bosnian descent living in the United States.

Moving forward, the resolution urges the U.S. government and Bosnia and Herzegovina to continue working toward the country's NATO and EU membership by strengthening democratic institutions, protecting human rights, and undertaking constitutional reforms. It also calls for continued vigilance against foreign interference from countries like Russia and China. Essentially, this resolution reaffirms American commitment to supporting Bosnia and Herzegovina's path toward stability, democracy, and full integration into Western institutions.
