Abstract

The Dayton Accords of 1995 provided for arbitration over the boundary line in the Brčko area of Bosnia. Arbitration took place between the Muslim and Croat Federation and the Republica Srpska. Both party-appointed arbitrators refused to sign the Award. The Award does not draw a boundary line but establishes an international interim supervisory regime. The Tribunal decided on the basis of international law and equity. But it refused to apply the principle of non-recognition of territorial gains obtained in violation of international law. A further decision of the Tribunal is planned by 15 March 1998.
