If this was not caused by simple aggression on the part of Serbia, then the only grounds for intervention would be to prevent a massacre. As with Rwanda in 1994, the international community was united in its condemnation of the Balkan violence, but was unable to agree on effective joint action until late in the conflict, in 1995, when a NATO peacekeeping force was sent to the troubled area.
如果这不仅仅是由于塞尔维亚方面的侵略造成的，那么，干涉的唯一根据就是为了阻止屠杀了。像在1994年对卢旺达那样，国际社会一致谴责巴尔干半岛的暴行，但是，直到1995年冲突的尾声之前——北约的维和部队于1995年被派到了这个混乱的地区，国际社会都没能在有效的共同行动上达成一致。
