ABSTRACT
Adrian Hastings Clearly, the war we have been looking at has four participants: Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and the international community. This last was often the side that did nothing; but of course if you can do something and don't, that is doing something. It is quite certain that the international community could have stopped the war at any time, that it manifestly had the power to do so. If the war went on for four years, it was because the international community allowed it to go on, whether out of ignorance, stupidity, deliberate choice or whatever.
