Summary/Abstract: The subject of this paper is the analysis of the role of the United States of America in stopping the aggression and ending the international armed conflict, which was fought on the territory of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the period from 1992 to 1995. For the purpose of the above, the author first explains the basic characteristics of the crime of aggression within the modern system of international law. After that, referring to the relevant judgments of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, the author specifically analyzes the legal nature of the armed conflict that took place on the territory of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the period from 1992 to 1995, with the aim of proving that it was an international armed conflict. The author pays special attention to the increased foreign policy engagement and diplomatic pressure of the United States of America, which ultimately led to a sustainable peaceful solution - first through the conclusion of the Washington Agreement, and then the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina initialed in Dayton, which ended the international armed conflict that took place on the territory of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
