The Security Council deplored the atrocities, but its peacekeepers were unable to subdue the fighting.
Boutros-Ghali’s frustration over the Clinton administration’s pattern of voting for tough Security Council resolutions and then refusing to support actions on the ground was most notable in the 1992-95 civil war in Bosnia, a conflict of ethnic and religious differences that led to displaced populations, massacres, rapes and “ethnic cleansing” campaigns against Muslims and other minorities. Albright wrote, “My deepest regret from my years in public service is the failure of the United States and the international community to act sooner to halt these crimes.” It was a regret she repeated, in much the same words, in an interview for this obituary. Clinton apologized for America’s inaction in Rwanda.
