# Signing of the Dayton Agreement, Peace Conference on the former Yugoslavia, photograph (Paris, 14 December 1995)

Three men sit at a long table lettered 'CONFERENCE DE PAIX SUR L'EX-YOUGOSLAVIE / PARIS' with open folders in front of them, while six men in dark suits stand behind and applaud in a gilded room. The tells are the row of applauding leaders arranged behind the three signatories and the conference lettering on the table, which present the agreement as an international, collectively backed settlement.
