NGOs and peacebuilding in Bosnia's ethnically divided cities Forced Migration Online (24276783) Migration, asylum and refugee law FORCED MIGRATION ONLINE RETURNEES ETHNIC ENCLAVES POLITICS HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE COMMUNITIES RECONSTRUCTION NGOS PEACE BUILDING CAPACITY BUILDING Two years after the Dayton Accords were signed to stop the fighting among Bosnia's main ethnic groups, refugees have come back to find their war-damaged cities divided by physical boundary lines that separate majority and minority ethnic communities. There is often no freedom of movement, nor any formal employment, across these dividing lines. Freedom of movement and return are determined locally, regardless of national or international law. These cities' ethnic divisions pose serious obstacles to the international community's peacebuilding efforts to reconstruct Bosnia and foster reconciliation among its main ethnic groups.
